STL Galaxy: a living galaxy built by its makers
Watch Ares pods — the building blocks carrying SlideBricks from Earth — assemble into a starship, deliver to the Moon and settle as a colony, then reassemble for the final journey to Mars, where they land as buildings laid out by the community's own planning rules.

How it works
Ares pods are created as members join, carry SlideBricks from Earth, link magnetically into a starship, stage a Moon colony, then reassemble for Mars — where they land as buildings under the community's planning rules.
- 1. Generator = cellular automata: pods are cells with neighbour rules; they snap face to face and grow like a living organism.
- 2. Styles: City blocks (WFC), Towers (L-system), Shifting (CA).
- 3. Live colony is append-only — placed pods keep their addresses.
- 4. Members will set town-planning conditions that drive the layout rules.
