SimLife, "The Genetic Playground.", allows you to explore the interaction of life-forms and environments. You can manipulate the genetics of both animals and plants to see whether these new species could survive in Earth's various environments. You can also create new worlds with unique environments to see how certain species fare in them.

SimLife allows to to:

  • Create and modify worlds
  • create and modify plants and animals at the genetic level
  • design environments and ecosystems;
  • study genetics in action
  • simulate and control evolution
  • change the physics of the universe in your computer.
