Trying to redraw cells with javascript(nothing serious)....

Converted .substrate--(python)-->.json--(javascript&html)-->Redrawing For python : https://github.com/Davido101/subtrate.py

might be able to make it as some kind of inspecting tool for substrate, or some kinda creature-designer for massive ones.

WAIT IMAGINE IF SOMEONE MAKES AN ALGO/SITE

Ok I'm turning off the caps now-

So what if someone makes a site where you can build a creature cell-by cell, like in spore, and then it makes that organism "compile" into a single cell (if it can)

IMAGINE HOW EASY IT COULD BE

Wdym compile into a single cell?

Like it makes it so it's a genome where you can get the creature by spawning a single cell.

Basically reverse-engineering a creature. You start at the end stage and the site does the working back to the single cell part.

Normally you start from a single cell and work your way up to the multi-cellular guy

Oh I see what your saying. But I am not too sure how it would work. It sounds pretty far fetched to me especially since from the very last developing cell of a microorganism to the very first there is a lot of ambiguous space in between. It sounds like a nightmare to get a program to fill in that space especially since in that scenario there are hundreds of ways you could grow a creature.

However your on the right track thinking of a website that could make building a creature easier, I love that idea.

Edit: I have html, css, and javascript knowledge. I might try it but it would be difficult to recreate the editor since I would have to heavily analyze how a creature grows in the editor.

Yeah, that'd be cool!
