PetriInsight

For this week's Creative Code challenge by @sableRaph: “ Petri Dish”, PetriInsight is coded in Hydra, LiveCodeLab & SonicPi to showcase a petri dish of the digital organisms created by LiveCodeLab. Aided with extra effects.

What Does the MicroScope see?
Within the Constraints
That contains the contents
That is seen in the Petri?
How are these cells reacting?
How are these cells constructed?
That is within the realm of the Petri
Between its molecular levels
And how some entities manage to double

LiveCodeLab

x =  time % 8
y = time % 7 + 2

z = Math.hypot(x ^ y, (wave(0.003)* time % 5 + 6)) 

z times
    scale (~x)/12
    move wave(0.03)
    rotate z, z/3 , z^z
    ball z / 9 , ~z / 100
