Simulation independent of the camera
A dedicated worker advances the whole world. Integer arithmetic and a seeded generator make replay deterministic.

Come back to a changed world.
Overview
A living-world simulation built with Rust and WebAssembly.
Key capabilities
- Fly a survey glider, record a place, and compare it with the world on return.
- Observe vegetation, population counts, migration, weather, and spreading fire.
- Replay the shared simulation in a headless WASI component.
Under the hood
Technical decisions
Two adapters, one core
The browser Wasm module and headless WASI command share Rust simulation logic, allowing parity checks without coupling ecology to rendering.
Current limitations
Desktop keyboard play is intended; touch flight controls are absent. Reloading resets the world, and closed pages do not evolve. Wildlife are population counts, not individual agents.
