Problem Description

Use Rust to implement Particle Lenia in a way that can be compiled to run on WasmEdge (https://wasmedge.org/book/en/)

Use the guidelines and the type of memory use optimization from a similar Game of Life implementation below.

Submit a compiled .wasm binary together with the codebase, and briefly talk about steps you took to make the implementation energy-efficient.

Needs to be visualized using CanvasRenderingContext2D:

Acceptance Criteria

Compiles, and has tests.
