SocioLife is an advanced artificial life simulation exploring emergent social behaviors, tribal dynamics, economic systems, warfare, diplomacy, and technological evolution in a complex multi-agent ecosystem.
SocioLife is written in javascript and runs in your browser. It's graphics and compute intensive, so it's best run on a modern multicore PC.

Looks better... the one thing I am not seeing is the behavior where they expand in two directions at the same time - but it might be that it's too small. Also it would be better if you started from a much lower density initial condition like 15% density. Also note - while Amazing Dragons shows really interesting behavior microscopically it is not the most balanced rule - there are other variants that are sparser and have a more interesting balance (see gallery, see repo to try them out). I found density of initial conditions is very important and different rules need different densities.
