content.text= " In our effort to present our project in a simple and comprehensible way, we introduced already in may 2013 a java minigame into our wiki, which is a new approach in Human practice work, that has not been in iGEM before. When people visit our wiki, they have the possibility to get to know central aspects of our project by playing and especially doing, which is generally a good way to learn.</br>The game is a mix of a simple shooter, where you need to hit things to raise your score, and an adventure game, where you have got to decide between different opportunities. At several score steps the player gets the possibility to achieve upgrades, that helps him to realize the central aspect of our project: The Degradation of specious proteins in bacteria.</br>We based the game on our introduced comic to intensify the connection to our Human practice work. The player might have already read the comic and, as connections are very important for understanding and learning, he is probably reminded to the different characters and their relations in the comic.</br>In the game the player starts at point zero in light induction: His UV laser gun kills any bacteria and therefore implements the simplest way to evoke something with light. The player will realize, that this laser may also unintentionally kill so called 'civilians' (bacteria without the targeted properties). Therefore he is able to upgrade his laser to a blue laser, which has got a defined wavelength and affects only the mechanism, that degrades special proteins. 'Civilians' are not disturbed by the blue laser. According to our comic so called 'clones' (bacteria, that have got the specious protein) will not be killed, but the specious protein is degraded. In our comic and our game 'evil clone warriors' are turned to likely, nice bacteria, when the 'evil' proteins in them are degraded.</br>In addition to that, 'Darth Cherry', the head of all clone warriors, appears at several steps in the game. You need to hit him several times until he dies/turns to a nice bacteria. The player can choose the 'plasmid of death' upgrade, which allows him to terminate Darth Cherry in one step. It shows the player, that you can change properties of bacteria by inserting plasmids and is surely an allusion to our kill-switch system.</br>Other upgrades show the player how to improve a system: You can get a wider and stronger laser to hit more bacteria, you can use nutrition to bait bacteria, you can use ice to make them slower. Surely all these upgrades are very generalized and simplified and do not totally correspond to reality, but our aim is not to present detailed information in the game. It just should create a base for people to understand our project, even if they are no experts in synthetic biology. Additionally the entertaining aspect of our game might attract internet-passersby, who are unintentionally informed about synthetic biology.";
