Protect your body from bacteria!

Prevent bacteria from reaching the healthy cells by throwing the immune cells to them

In the real life, E. coli bacteria use a mechanism based on tumble and swim when they seek for the nutrition. This game utilizes the modelling of this behaviour.

What is the main objective of the game?
To protect healthy cells is the duty of the player in this game. It can be possible by throwing the immune cells to the bacteria.

HOW TO PLAY
There are three main characters in the game
1. Healthy body cells
2. Different kinds of bacteria that try to harm the body cells
3. The immune cells

You must select one of the immune cells and throw it to the bacteria which try to reach the body cells. In this way, you can destroy the bacteria. Have fun!

SCIENTIFIC ASPECT
This game is a kind of modelling of the phenomena used by bacteria to find their nutrition in the real life. Bacteria tumble so that they can determine a random direction and they swim to this direction making a linear movement. If they come to close their nutrition, they keep going for a long time. If they move away from their nutrition, they stop and tumble again to find a new random direction.
