Orbit
Drag the camera
Drag across the canvas to change yaw and pitch. Wheel or pinch adjusts zoom. Reset view returns the camera to its starting angle and scale.
How to explore depth
Read a living volume
The particles have x, y, and z positions. The canvas projects the bounded volume with perspective and depth sorting, while the selected rules create movement inside it. Camera orbit and zoom change the view without changing the world.
Observe
Depth is part of the state
Axes and bounds make the volume readable. The particle pattern evolves from its rules and seed rather than promising a fixed shape.
FAQ
3D simulator questions
Is this a true 3D simulation?
Yes. Particles have x, y, and z positions and move through a bounded three dimensional world. The canvas projects that world for viewing. Try the mobile simulator.
How do I orbit the 3D view?
Drag on the canvas to orbit. Use a mouse wheel or a two finger pinch to change the camera zoom, then use Reset view to return to the starting camera. Try the sandbox controls.
Can I change the particle rules?
Yes. The page exposes preset, count, motion, force, damping, radius, time step, repulsion zone, and family controls. Values stay within the ranges shown beside each control. Tune them in the sandbox.
Does the 3D view save a world?
No account or saved history is used. The Share configuration command creates a URL containing settings and a seed, not a saved live snapshot. Browse the preset library.
