Morphogenesis simulation of hypothetic plants

Multiagent simulation of the morphogenesis of an abstract plant.
1- Stem cell proliferate in an egg of nutriment
2- Stem cells differentiate in bark cells
3- Bark cells grow and generate sap cells
4- Some sap cells enter in apoptosis when in contact with the air

The software used is NetBioDyn (use google to find the web page where the applet is)

interesting... how do you do that? thats awesome

@63NY1 Hello! I use a cellular automata like system. I put colored squares on a grid (100x100). Each square can move at random (up, left, right or down) and emit a small chemical field. The chemical field diffuses in the matrix and guide the other squares (attraction or repulsion). A set of rules allow the squares to change: for example a brown square can create a new brown or a green square (it's a like a simplified genetic code) according to its neighborhood. Try my applet netBioDyn. Regards.

@pballet wow. a simple set of rules creating such a complex structure. just wow.
