🟤 Turing Diffusion — Spots & Stripes (2D)

2D Canvas2D Gray-Scott reaction-diffusion simulation: watch stable Turing spot, stripe, maze and coral patterns self-organise from an activator-inhibitor chemical system. Adjust feed rate F and kill rate k in real time.

⚙ Under the hood

A 2D Canvas2D Gray-Scott reaction-diffusion simulator: two virtual chemicals, a fast-diffusing inhibitor U and an autocatalytic activator V, react and spread across a toroidal grid to spontaneously form stable spots, stripes, mazes or coral-like patterns. Tune the feed rate F and kill rate k, or click and drag on the canvas to seed new activator and watch Turing's 1952 morphogenesis model unfold in real time.
