Organism

Here’s a little project I’ve been working on in Processing. You’ll have to download the zip file and open the html file in it to play since it’s a little bit big for web and has a tendency to crash firefox/explorer.

Basically this is a game which has no real ending. You start out as a single cell organism and eat other organisms in order to grow. It’s a fairly simple concept. Right now the game clearly isn’t as good as I would like it to be, but I think that would be more of a summer project for me to work on. I want to eventually include multi-celled organisms, growing of flagellum’s and cilia, enemies, fluid-like moving organisms, and etc, but I think it’s in a good enough stage to start expanding. Some inspiration for this work comes from the games Spore and Katamari.
