Stuff in projects folder is everchanging mess of lua that does all the magic. things that end in `.llib` is not auto-loaded and displayed in dropdown but can be `required` by lua - thus lua-libs.

* ecology series - a small ecology sims

* slimemold - slime mold sim inspired by [this page](https://sagejenson.com/physarum)

* crystals - an interpretation of [this page](http://mkweb.bcgsc.ca/snowflakes/letitsnow.mhtml) but a very loose one

* IFS_shader - a fractal/fractal flame generator
