I've been building a Movable Feast Machine Simulator in Javascript, based on @livcomp's work of robust-first software that uses living systems to compute on indefinitely scalable hardware.
Site:
mfm.rocks
Code:
github.com/walpolea/MFM-JS/
Progress update thread:
I've jumped back on mfm.rocks; very excited to share this cell made up of 3 elements:
○ CellBrane (commands direction)
○ CellMembrane (middle goo)
○ CellOuterMembrane (Spanx for cells)
The CellMembrane colors change to show the direction given by CellBrane

😱 I just realized I never shared the svg tool I spent so much time on!
I wanted to create a playground to help learn and discover how to write SVG code, which can be so funky!
Remember when we learned physics in the sandbox? Yeah, like that.

You think that's something, I actually created HTML in 10 days. Me and 30-50 feral developers in 1895. My total comp was just a jar of marmalade preserves and some extra hay to stuff in my pillow.

Future CSS Tip! 🔮

img{
animation:move steps(var(--frames));
animation-timeline:scroll(root);
}
keyframes move{to{object-position:100% 0;}}

I've embraced the idea that web dev is both my profession and hobby, but for a little while earlier in my career I really fought the idea. So here's my testament that you don't have to fight it if you don't want to. andrewwalpole.com/blog/are-w…
