Alpahbet Life

Hello,
This program is a life simulator based on human language.
It animates letters in the space of you browser.
The movement of the letters is induced by the three simples rules of Craig Reynold's boids algorithm.
These rules are weighted according to the reccurency of pairs of letters in a given text.


Instructions

Show these instructions at any moment by saying "Help".

All the controls are spoken 💬 allow the microphone use.
The words that you are saying add letters to the system.

There is a counter of letters at the bottom of the screen.
Too many letters may slow down the simulation 🐌
You can delete them by saying "delete".

You can initialize the heatmap with Shakespear's Winter tale by saying "winter".

This is currently only based on the english language.
This program only works on chrome, sorry 🤖
