Neon Fish Swarm

Not a cellular automaton, but a simulation that develops from two simple rules. The rules are:

  1. Stay close to your neighbors
  2. Keep a minimum distance

From chaotic initial states, an ordered structure can emerge. Without any leader, the individual fish gradually form an organized swarm. When a predator joins, the swarm has to adapt to the threat (escape!). Use the parameters to shape the underwater world.
