Hi all,

Here are a (maybe) nice Game:

PetriDish (v0.4.1 actually):
Should be a simulator of a petri dish (Hope it will it do in the future...)
'I belive Charles Darwin will kill me if I meet him in my next life'

Screenshot from PetriDish 0.4.1:


Here are short description: How to play PetriDish:

First the story:
You are working on a genetic labor and your job is the creation of new organismn.
There are currenty two 'different' cell types in your labor (called 'Kullers').
The first one (called 'Colter') likes a colt environment more.
The second one (called 'Sonny') likes a hot environment more!
Also you can feeding your lovely organismn, of course!
There are more as one how to do:
1) Auto feeding...
2) Feeding by your hand (Press the 'right' mouse button in ´the dish and you will understand how do it!)

Press the [left mouse button] to drop on of the Kuller type into the dish.
Press [C] for a Colter or [S] for a Sonny Kuller type.

Also in the PetriDish 0.4.1 version you can change the first gens of a Kullertype too. (But sorry! The english translation is not done complete in 0.4.1 but I hope you have a 'german' translation book on your left site if you need translation .

And last but not least:
Also you can call different statistic tools from your current PetriDish situation too:
1) Global statistic (Press key [G] if you want see it)
2) Local statistic (Press key [L] ...)
3) Also you can move the 'green radar' frame if Local statistic is 'On' and you press the key [R] also: The radar frame will following your mouse cursor now.

Hope I have all descripted. Have fun and please give me feedback too!
Maybe there is also a great graphic man here who want to help me?

On my Pure Basic webpage there are more (currently not playable) games in 0.1 version too.
Here are screenshots of this games:
PBjungler (will be a remake of the great game: JUNGLER)

PBlogic:


Please remind: PBjungler and PBlogic are NOT PLAYABLE in the 0.1 version.

I'm enjoying the dish.. how about a pause button, that will allow you to
add food, and/or reds and blues?

@NoahPhense ,
There is a 'Pause' key [P].
But for feeding by hand or droping a Kuller into the Dish you don't need the Pause key really.

Also you can slow down the 'moving speed' of the dish:
Try the key [1-9] (9 is the slowest!)
Press key [0] if you want the default and the fastest.

In a future version I will improve the *PAUSE*:
-> You can relax and design your dish than but 0.4.1 can't do.

Have fun on the Dish!

Cool!

Reminds me of a similar game called "Darwin's Pond". which can be found here:

http://www.ventrella.com/Darwin/darwin.html

Maybe you can learn something from it.

Woah, my dish is getting ugly as I write this, lol

Funny game!

err... it's not really a game is it. Maybe having objectives would make it so.

@Shopro,
Thanks for the link of "Darwin Pond". Hope I can learn from it

Here ere you short hint more: In the PetriDish there lifes also cannibals!
Look in the dish and you will see it.
If you understand german please have also a look on the www.pure-area.net 'Feedback' forum. There a few more infos about the PetriDish.
E.g:: The rules how the cannibals are life, etc. (But only in german)
The next version of PetriDish will have a new organismn: WORMs!
I belive the WORMs is a meal eater, but I don't know it really! The Dish has it own rules and I am only the slave of the Dish
Ok let us see what the Dish will give us!
