Lenia is a collection of implementations (Python, MATLAB, JavaScript, Jupyter, R) of a continuous cellular automaton that produces naturalistic artificial life forms. It includes interactive real-time simulations with statistics tools, GPU support, and extensions to n-dimensional, multi-kernel, and multi-channel variants.

Use cases

  • simulate continuous cellular automata with lifelike emergent creatures
  • explore artificial life research in 2D, 3D, and 4D
  • run Lenia lifeform patterns interactively in the browser
  • study statistics and periodicity of cellular automata patterns
  • experiment with multi-kernel multi-channel CA variants

When to choose

  • you want to explore or demonstrate artificial life and emergent behavior
  • you need a ready-to-run continuous cellular automata simulator with GPU support
  • you are doing research or education on cellular automata

When to avoid

  • you need a general-purpose game engine or physics simulator
  • you need a production application rather than a research/demo tool
  • you require active feature development, as the project is in maintenance
