Lab

A collection of interactive experiments, simulations, and visualizations exploring the same ideas behind Tactiko — emergence, strategy, and complexity from simple rules. Built for curiosity — no sign-up required.

▣Conway's Game of Life

Interactive cellular automaton simulator. Draw patterns, load presets like Gosper's Glider Gun, and watch complexity emerge from simple rules.

⚔Prisoner's Dilemma

Explore the classic game theory scenario — cooperate or defect? See how strategies evolve in iterated tournaments.

⌖Pathfinding Visualizer

Watch A*, Dijkstra, BFS, DFS, and Greedy Best-First find paths through mazes. Draw walls, generate mazes, compare algorithms step-by-step.

↕Sorting Algorithms

Watch sorting algorithms work step by step — bubble sort, quick sort, merge sort, heap sort, and more. Interactive visualization with speed controls and educational content.

✨Generative Art

Algorithmic art experiments using noise fields, particle systems, and mathematical functions.

▒Elementary Cellular Automata

Explore all 256 rules of 1D cellular automata — from Rule 30's chaos to Rule 110's Turing completeness.

These experiments share a core idea with Tactiko: simple rules creating rich, strategic depth. In the game, basic player moves generate complex football tactics — just like cellular automata and game theory.
