Introduction
This project is an exploration of a synthetic world, from the viewpoint of a physical world, in a lab situation. It contains an element of play, exemplified by the use of a video game controller, to control life-like creatures. These creatures, residing in a synthetic world, have a specific lifespan and growth factors. Once they grow to a specific size, they explode.
The synthetic creatures have been modelled after living cells, the building blocks of all living things. The whole project simulates looking through a microscope and controlling cells, which is very predominant in any micro-biological setup.
