Kartoffels – Cellular Automata, Statistics, 32-bit RISC-V

In plain words

Kartoffels is a cellular automata simulator designed for exploring and analyzing pattern behavior on 32-bit RISC-V systems. It combines interactive cellular automata visualization with statistical analysis tools, allowing users to observe how complex patterns emerge and evolve from simple rules. The software targets hobbyists and researchers interested in computational systems, artificial life, and mathematical simulations. It emphasizes cross-platform compatibility through RISC-V architecture support, making it accessible on a broader range of devices than traditionally available.

  Cellarium: A Playground for Cellular AutomataFeb 2026 · github.com · ▲41

  Hey HN, just wanted to share a fun, vibe-coded Friday night experiment: a little playground for writing cellular automata in a subset of Rust, which is then compiled into WGSL. Since it lets you dynamically change parameters while the simulation is running via a TUI, it's easy to discover weird behaviors without remembering how you got there. If you press "s", it will save the complete history to a JSON file (a timeline of the parameters that were changed at given ticks), so you can replay it and regenerate the discovery. You can pan/zoom, and while the main simulation window is in…

  Eigendrum - Draw any shape and hear what it sounds like as a drum▲243

  Hi HN, I built Eigendrum, a web tool that solves the 2D wave equation for arbitrary shapes so you can hear what they sound like as drums. How it works: * Solves -∇²u = λu using finite element analysis (Kφ = λMφ) on a triangle mesh. * Validated to <0.1% error against closed-form solutions for circles (Bessel zeros) and rectangles. * Sound model factors in strike location, Rayleigh damping, and mallet width. * Includes Kac drums I & II to demonstrate identical sound spectra from different geometries. * No frameworks, build steps, or dependencies. Repo and tests:…

  I got laid off from Meta and created a minor hit on Steam▲1,581

  I was at FB&#x2F;Meta from late 2013 to early 2023, mostly working in the compiler&#x2F;runtime spaces. I got hit in the spring 2023 layoff wave. I immediately started making games in my newfound free time (a lifelong interest, and I even worked in AA(A?) back ca. ~2000), and in October 2023 I stumbled upon the idea of a roguelike pachinko&#x2F;plinko game inspired by Luck Be A Landlord. Things snowballed quickly, I started talking to publishers, then worked like crazy through all of 2024, almost the hardest I've ever worked in my career, and launched the game in December 2024. It's sold…

  I built an app to stop me doomscrolling by touching grass▲1,203

  i wanted to change the habit of reaching for my phone in the morning and doomscrolling away an hour so i built an app to help me. now i have to literally touch grass before accessing my most distracting apps the app is built in swiftui, uses the screen time apis provided by apple and google vision to recognise grass or not i'd love to get your thoughts on the concept.
