<p>The BioGame for Android has been developed as part of the BareCillus outreach scheme. The aim is to provide a fun and informative means for young biologists to become interested in Synthetic Biology and it's various applications. The game poses the user with various challenges, from simply keeping the bacteria alive, to solving problems using BioBricks, and they must complete these challenges to progress through the game and keep their bacteria healthy. This page has been created to both document the development and provide a guide to playing the game.

<p>The game was first conceived as part of our ethical considerations, to demonstrate the sharing aspect of iGEM by allowing users to utilise any BioBrick from the registry (that has been programmed into the game). The idea is that mini games will require certain BioBricks in order to be completed, involving aspects of research and problem solving from the user.

<p>The game has been developed in Java with <a href="http://libgdx.badlogicgames.com/" class="external text" rel="nofollow">LIBGdx</a>. This is because of the documentation available on LIBGdx, the ease at which games can be developed and the consistent structure it provides with standard gaming development. It also makes it exceptionally easy to port games between Android, PC and HTML, giving the possibility for cross-platform integration of cloud-based save games in the future.

Implications

We didn't spend all our summer inside the Centre for Bacterial and Cell Biology, we also considered our project and iGEM in a wider context.

We took time to connect to as many people as possible:

  1. We designed a BioGame to entertain and inform young biologists about synthetic biology.
  2. At the iGEM U.K. meet up (YSB 1.0) we gave a presentation and presented a poster about BareCillus.
  3. At YSB 1.0 we gave a presentation about rule-based modelling and the software BioNetGen to the other U.K teams. Team Leeds went on to use BioNetGen some for their modelling.
  4. We held an architecture and synthetic biology workshop with architecture students to explore the relationships between the two fields and how they may interact in the future.
  5. We took time to consider and document the safety, moral and legal aspects of synthetic biology and BareCillus.
  6. We compared the methods used in the fields of architecture and synthetic biology and explored how synthetic biology may impact on architecture.
