Cellular Automaton Glow
A scanning beam writes the word into a glowing grid as stable cell blocks while a life-like cellular automaton churns around it. Then the letters burst into chaos and get rewritten: emergence for tech and science visuals.
Prompt · replace [TEXT]
Tool-agnosticAnimate the word [TEXT] inside a life-like cellular automaton on a dark square grid. A bright vertical scan beam sweeps left to right and writes the letters as a lattice of small stable 2×2 cell blocks in icy cyan, clearing a thin moat around them. Around the word, a random soup evolves step by step at about 12 generations per second: newborn cells flash pale yellow, survivors turn amber then magenta, and dead cells leave short fading ember trails. Let gliders drift in and chew the edges of the letters. After a few seconds, inject noise into the letters so they explode into chaotic growth and decay, then the beam sweeps again and rewrites [TEXT]. Add a soft glow and visible gaps between cells.
