Advanced Diffusion-Limited Aggregation (DLA) Simulation

Diffusion-Limited Aggregation (DLA) is a process that models the formation of fractal structures. In a DLA simulation, particles move randomly across the canvas until they come into close contact with an existing cluster. When a particle meets the cluster, it adheres to it, contributing to the overall growth of a complex, branching fractal pattern.

This simulation employs an object-oriented design with grid-based collision detection to efficiently simulate the random motion and adhesion of particles. As more particles join the cluster, a mesmerizing fractal emerges from these simple rules.

Major Updates Include:

• Modular Code Structure: Simulation logic is encapsulated in a class for clarity and performance.
• Grid-Based Collision Detection: Only neighboring cells are checked, ensuring rapid performance as the cluster grows.
• Enhanced Control Panel: Pause/resume, reset the simulation, adjust step size (now 10× faster) and walker count, toggle grid display, and even save snapshots of the fractal.
• Interactive Features: Click the canvas to add a seed particle anywhere you desire.
