hello everyone I did a little spatial-programming demo at the London meetup yesterday and fortunately, the second half of it got filmed! You can watch it here: youtu.be/bqtVv9ts29c and it was great to meet so many more people at the meetup!

Spatial programming is a nice name for this. It reminds me of this project by David Ackley: https://movablefeastmachine.org

That’s wonderful! Is there somewhere we can learn more about what’s happening for those of us not there?

@Kartik Agaram hey yes! Dave is a huge inspiration! In the first part of the talk I showed some of my influences (including Dave's language SPLAT)
@Michael Dales thanks very much! I've made a few videos about it (which may or may not answer questions) 1. the initial idea: 🦠

Cells in Cells in Cells

2. the basics: 🤖

Nothing

3. fun stuff:

Spellular Automata

Thanks! I love the elemental demo, that was just there in passing in your talk (at least in the bit on video) but expressed something lovely.
