# Primordial Particle System

An implementation of the Primordial Particle System (PPS) described in:

Schmickl, T., Stefanec, M. & Crailsheim, K.

[How a life-like system emerges from a simplistic particle motion law.](https://www.nature.com/articles/srep37969)

Sci Rep 6, 37969 (2016).

## Installation

```

$ go install github.com/fzipp/pps/cmd/pps-simulate@latest

```

## Usage

```

$ pps-simulate

Visit http://localhost:8080 in a web browser

```

It uses the following parameter set (as described in the article) by default:

PPS =〈r=5, α=180°, β=17°, v=0.67〉

The parameters, the particle density (DPE) and the size of the universe

can be modified via command line flags:

```

$ pps-simulate -r=4 -alpha=180 -beta=17 -v=0.67 -dpe=0.08 -size=150x150

```

The port is configurable as well:

```

$ pps-simulate -http=:6060

```

Get help about the flags:

```

$ pps-simulate -help

```
