Biogenesis
Biogenesis simulates in a visual fashion the processes involved in the evolution of unicellular organisms in nature. It tries to be a didactic approximation to the ideas of mutation or evolution, and can be enjoyed also as an entertainment. It's intended to serve as a support to show students some basic biological facts. The idea of Biogenesis is taken from Primordial Life, but it's an independent project.

Release Notes: Many more different organisms can appear, since now they can have any symmetry value from 1 to 8. It's much easier to edit genetic codes at the laboratory: you will see how the organism will be while you are editing it.
