ALIEN, or Artificial LIfe ENvironment, is an artificial life simulation tool utilizing a specialized 2D particle engine in CUDA for soft bodies and fluid-like media. Each simulated body comprises a network of particles with various functions, from information processing to physical equipment like sensors and weapons. The simulator features a two-layered particle engine for simulating soft bodies and fluids, along with a vector graphics engine for rendering. Users can edit particle properties, manipulate world structures, and control simulation parameters extensively. ALIEN aims to support large worlds with millions of particles using CUDA and OpenGL, with emergent behavior patterns and a user-friendly interface. The documentation warns that the information provided may be outdated for the latest major version 4, directing users to the program's help for up-to-date details.
