Its intended for bacteria and other simple organic material but i extended it to trees, mushrooms and sheep (and nothing else). Initially i was making a 1-1 realistic simulation of this, but i got bored of it, and started just making cool explosions and messing around with bacteria designs (which eventually became sheep). In the end,\u00a0its a basic solar system simulator with a bunch of realism-breaking elements. I.e sheep can fall from space and not die, planets are waay to small in comparison to the sheep\/plants, and this isn&#8217;t even close to a proper simulation in terms of physics and math.<\/p>\n <p>Got most of the stuff i wanted to implement, got all my barebones features done, but started running out of time to add &#8216;all&#8217; my stretch goal features. Right now its more sandbox than game, but its got the whole angry birds\/ios charm to it, simplistic n stuff. Stuff like deathstars, ufos, nebula clouds, etc.<\/p>\n <p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n <p>I must say it feels great to have actually finished one of these, I&#8217;ve attempted a few before but couldn&#8217;t think of anything\/get something decent before running out of time. Now that i know i &#8216;can&#8217; do it, I cant wait to see the next one.<\/p>","time":"August 26th, 2012 6:33 pm","title":"Submitted and Done! Check out Panspermia"}
