Simulacra

See: Simulacra and Simulation.

Study of The Nature of Code by Daniel Shiffman.

This project is organized around the following constructs:

• simulation - a self-contained p5.js sample; encapsulates a discrete computational model that explores how fundamental principles manifest into a controlled environment.
• axiom - fundamental principles upon which different simulations are built; used to categorize simulations.
• pattern - patterns define common metadata parameters and are used to connect a simulation to an axiom.
• theme - theme provides helpful functions for retrieving colors that respect the current preferred color scheme.

Workflow

1. Create a class that extends from Simulation.
   • Example: RandomNumberDistribution.
2. Once the simulation is complete, create an instance of SimulationPattern within the appropriate axiom pattern.
   • Example: RandomnessPatterns.

Creating an Axiom

1. Create a class that extends from Axiom.
   • Example: Randomness.
2. Create a pattern array for the axiom that will define the associated SimulationPattern objects.
   • Example: RandomnessPatterns.
3. Add the axiom to the Axioms array.

Running

This project was generated using Angular CLI version 19.2.7.

To start a local development server, run:

npm run start

Once the server is running, open your browser and navigate to http://localhost:4200/. The application will automatically reload whenever you modify any of the source files.
