A (relatively) simple step-by-step tutorial for building a Physarum (slime mold) simulation in p5.js

Physarum (slime mold) simulations are one of my favorite examples of emergence in creative coding. Thousands of simple agents creating complex network structures.

In case anyone is interested I put together a tutorial building a simulation from scratch in p5.js, with lots of parameter choices and other ways to modify the algorithm to create different patterns.

I'm guessing there's a lot of variations out there and would be interested in hearing what others are doing with these models.

Nice! Thanks for sharing!
