This physics engine 2DTissue was developed to simulate the collective behaviour of active (self-propelled) particles on arbitrary curved closed surfaces.

Simply run make in your terminal in the root of this project and everything will get installed and compiled.

By running make PLATFORM=wasm you compile the code to WASM

The model described is a Vicsek type model (Vicsek et al. 1995, Physical review letters 75(6): 1226) of spherical active particles with a fixed radius confined to the surface of an ellipsoid. Particle interactions are modelled through forces between neighbouring particles that tend to align their velocities (adapted from Szabo et al. 2006, Physical Review E 74(6): 061908).
