Welcome to Anthozoa, a generative art tool that simulates the growth of cellular structures using self-repelling curves.

The name and visual inspiration come from Anthozoa, the class of marine life that includes sea anemones and corals. The organic forms also draw from Alan Turing's theory of morphogenesis, which explores how natural patterns like stripes, spirals, and branching structures emerge in biological systems.

Click anywhere on the canvas to plant a "seed" and watch it grow. Each seed generates a living pattern that interacts with itself and others as it expands, resulting in dynamic, unpredictable formations. Use the controls below to shape its evolution by adjusting parameters like curve tension, growth speed, and branching behavior.
