# Emergence Canvas

Emergence Canvas is an interactive web-based project that showcases the concept of emergence through a dynamic and visually captivating simulation. This project utilizes HTML Canvas and JavaScript to create a complex system from simple individual elements that exhibit behaviors leading to emergent properties when they interact. It's an exploration of how complexity can arise from simplicity, demonstrating patterns, self-organization, and phenomena that do not exist at the level of individual components.

## Features

Dynamic Simulation: Watch as simple rules give rise to complex behaviors in real-time.

Interactive Controls: Adjust parameters in real-time to see how they affect the emergence of patterns and behaviors.

Responsive Design: The canvas dynamically adjusts to different screen sizes for a seamless experience on any device.

Educational Tool: A great resource for educators and students to visualize and understand the principles of emergence.

## Live Demo

You can view a live demo of the project here. (Note: Replace the hashtag with the URL of your live demo)

## Getting Started

To get a local copy up and running, follow these simple steps.

### Prerequisites

Ensure you have a modern web browser installed (e.g., Google Chrome, Firefox, Safari) to view and interact with the simulation.

### Installation

1. Clone the repo

```shell

git clone https://github.com/Arzoka/emergencejs.git

```

2. Open the index.html file in your web browser.

## Usage

Once the project is running, you will see a canvas filled with entities exhibiting simple behaviors. You can interact with the simulation in several ways:

- **Adjust Parameters**: Adjust js/index.js and js/constants/.. to change the parameters of the simulation, such as the number of entities, their speed, and the rules that govern their behavior.

- **Flip Entity Behavior**: Click on the button shown in index.html to flip the behavior of the entities.

## Built With

- **HTML5** - For structuring the web page and canvas element.

- **JavaScript** - Used to create the simulation logic and interactivity.
