For my final project I want to expand on my midterm project (coral reefs). (https://editor.p5js.org/zhuanya28/full/YtedjLJwr)

From the jump, I really liked the pixelated aesthetic. Also I wanted to experiment with having the system to be run based on the grid to optimize + double down on the pixelated aesthetics, which for me reflects the cells & the nature concept. (https://editor.p5js.org/codingtrain/full/AoH40T6fV)

i started out by taking the sand code (that has a grid system also) and creating an interesting dragging sketch. https://editor.p5js.org/zhuanya28/full/wRYYpgOFF

And then I was thinking of my final project & decided to unite the creature/emitter concept and the celular automata. That is what i had in between experimenting.
