Welcome to Tiamat - cellular automata simulation. Watch how a few basic rules create a magical flux between chaos and order. With some crazy math under the hood, Tiamat is also beautiful to witness. Get creative with the tools we've implemented to build endless possible worlds. Watch how small changes to the rules have big effects on the world!
World Presets
select from a range of pre-existing worlds created using cellular automata
Full Control

Get Colourful
customise the colours of your cells and their transitions
Your Rules
create, edit or choose a ruleset for your simulation (this isn't just the Game of Life by Conway!)
Pattern Bank

Pattern Creation
build and customise your own patterns and save them for future use
Pattern Transformation
modify your patterns with simple transforms to achieve different results
Therapeutic Vibes
