Slime Mold Simulation - Java Applet
Requires: Sun Java Virtual Machine 1.2.2 or later.
This applet simulates slime mold cells (dictyostelium discoideum). Slime mold cells can act as single organisms, but also come together in large groupings. They do this by releasing a pheromone called acrasin (cyclic AMP).
The Applet
The applet allows you to adjust both the number of cells and the pheromone evaporation rate. Both these can have quite drastic, but overall different, effects on the world.
