🧬SYNTROPY

The Evolution of War

Syntropy is an interactive live wallpaper that transforms your desktop into a digital ecosystem. It is powered by a procedural evolution simulation where autonomous AI teams are born, mutate, and wage dynamic territory wars, creating spectacular neon battles right beneath your icons.

_{Key Features:}

• _{⚔️ Faction Wars: Cells divide into independent teams with unique colors. They engage in continuous expansion, capture rival territories, and fight for real-time dominance.}
• _{🧬 Procedural Mutations: The engine calculates the probability of spontaneous biological mutations, generating new species with their own color palettes. This makes every simulation unique.}
• _{🎨 Shader Effects: A modern graphic style featuring soft bloom, chromatic aberration at the screen edges, cinematic vignette, and dynamic light rays.}
• _{🖱️ Interactive Spawning: Direct the balance of power yourself. Click on the desktop to spawn new clusters of glider cells and support your chosen faction.}
• _{🌌 Space Dust: Each cell death generates thousands of trailing microparticles that smoothly drift across the screen based on the laws of physics.}
• _{🌈 Adaptive Background: The wallpaper's background color softly and smoothly shifts its tint, adapting to the team currently dominating the screen.}
• _{🛰️ Parallax Effect: The image smoothly shifts following your mouse cursor movements, creating a deep and realistic pseudo-3D effect.}
• _{⚙️ Control Panel: A convenient system tray menu (next to the clock) allows you to adjust evolution speed, AI aggression, cell size, grid gaps, bloom intensity, and other parameters.}

_{Optimization & Performance:}

• _{🖥️ Multi-Monitor Support: Full support for multiple displays and ultra-wide screens. The live wallpaper seamlessly stretches across the entire workspace and works perfectly as a single unit across screen edges.}
• _{⚡ Architecture: Written entirely in C++17 and SFML without any third-party engines. All graphical effects are hardware-accelerated via custom GLSL shaders.}
• _{🚀 Run on Any Hardware: The code is ultra-lightweight and highly optimized at a low level. The wallpaper will run smoothly even on a weak laptop without impacting overall system performance.}
• _{🎮 Smart Auto-Pause: The wallpaper completely stops all calculations, reducing GPU and CPU load to absolute zero whenever you launch games, watch videos, or open fullscreen applications.}
• _{💾 Persistent World: The application carefully serializes the current cell map. After a system reboot, the simulation resumes exactly where it left off.}
