Nature of Code launched on January 7, 2017 with 107 votes, #386 of 3,670 launches that month and more than 75% of that year's launches. The site was still online in September 2026, 9 years on.

What it does

How can we capture the unpredictable evolutionary and emergent properties of nature in software? How can understanding the mathematical principles behind our physical world help us to create digital worlds? This book focuses on the programming strategies and techniques behind computer simulations of natural systems using Processing.
