The game with the GFP receiver construct

Figure 1. Gameplay with GFP receiver construct

The receiver and sender colonies were plated in the honeycomb hexagonal pattern on LB-Agar for a timelapse experiment to follow the OHHL diffusion from sender cells to receiver cells.
The mine cells/sender cells are represented by green circles, the numbers indicate how many mines surround the non mine colonies . The grey-scale makes it easy to identify 1,2 or 3 surrounding mines. As predicted in our model a gradient is visible in the colony. This gives the player information about the location of the mine. Based on this information , the player can decide about the next move, as in to which colony the substrate needs to be added in order to move past the mines without detonating them , or to flag them.
