Biomorph evolution lab - Clone, hybrid, hack genes

biomorph_family

Feel free to explore the infinite diversity of biomorphs.
Biomorphs are fractal creatures. One of their genes is already enough for producing the famous dragon curve with a fine organic texture. An actual biomorph can count thousands of inter dependent genes without slowing down the app. Sometime the beauty of a biomorph lay in the fine details of its structure, you can magnify it up to 1000000 times with the powerful zoom.

App controls :

screen

Most of the action can be performed with the mouse :

  • drag and drop biomorph as you wish between the panels
  • scroll to zoom, each panel is zoomable
  • double click a biomorph to center the genealogy tree on it
  • in the main view, drop biomorphs on top of each other to produce offsprings
  • middle click on a biomorph to clone it with random mutations
  • open the contextual menu of a biomorph to access its gene hacking control panel
  • each gene disk has fine mouse controls, watch the result live.

when zoomed, the main view disable some control for pure exploration

lauching the app :

You can try double clicking biomorph.jar on windows (make sure to extract files if ziped),
Otherwise use a terminal with the following command:

java -jar biomorph.jar
