I've had the pleasure of following Peter's progress on this project over the past 18 months or so, and it's been incredible to see how far he's taken it.
When he first described it to me, I didn't really "get" it (is it a game? a simulation? some other sort of environment?), and it wasn't until seeing an actual demo and hearing Peter explain his thinking more deeply that it clicked.
It's basically a giant simulation environment that is 1) visually stunning (and all visual aspects are meaningful / carry semantic information and aren't just glitter), 2) technically quite impressive, and 3) built for rapid exploration and experimentation. If that sounds at all interesting, you should watch the video to hear Peter's talk!
(Writing this as someone who generally doesn't like to watch videos online; this is one of the rare cases where I think it's worth it, and a video is a better format than text in explaining the thing.)
What I really want, is to run and experiment with it myself, locally. But I couldn't find a repository anywhere, even from his linked GitHub profile. You happen to know if it's online somewhere?
The architecture here is fascinating. Specifically using a graph processor approach where entities are nodes connected by edges (springs) for everything from physics to data transmission. I really like it.

So excited for this project
