About

Step into a living, breathing biological experiment right on your wrist. Conway’s Xenobiom is not just a watch face—it is a self-sustaining digital ecosystem driven by a hyper-optimized, custom 64-bit parallel bitwise engine built from scratch to push your Garmin's processor to its absolute limits. IMPORTANT: Initial Preview Release This is a pre-release preview version. The core bitwise engine and time-mutation mechanics are fully operational, but we are just getting started! When the Xenobiom chaos becomes too dense and consumes your clock, you hold the ultimate power over the matrix. - Double Wrist Flick: Perform a quick double-flick of your wrist to initiate a Deterministic Reset. - Purge the Void: A high-speed, 8-directional Armageddon pulse wipes the screen clear of overpopulated colonies. - Unleash Time: Watch as pure, pristine time digits emerge from the ashes, reclaiming control from the chaos before the Xenobiom begins its next evolution. Coming Soon in upcoming updates: Deep customization options (custom color palettes, matrix sizes). Embedded tactical widgets (battery status, steps tracking, heart rate monitors, and custom sci-fi HUD layouts). Ongoing performance optimization and rapid bug fixes. Support the Experiment: Coding complex bitwise cellular automata on microcontrollers takes a lot of caffeine! If you want to support development, report bugs, or request features, small donations for a coffee are very-very welcome: https://www.buymeacoffee.com/bodya Check Out My Other Work: If you love watching the universe evolve on your wrist, you will absolutely love the Vector Constellation watch face—a live, evolving geometric cosmos: https://apps.garmin.com/en-US/apps/da4b4696-0c3d-4e9e-9e6a-639e8393267e
