Universe of LIFE Theater by jk-ware is a fun PC application that allows users to create 3D graphic forms and shapes of microorganisms in subsequent generations. It's an entertaining way to observe how different forms evolve over time.
The basic idea of the game is to let beautiful graphic forms and surprising shapes of microorganisms originate from simple initial patterns in the following generations. Universe of LIFE offers comfortable support to achieve this goal. The graphic dialog-side offers output mode, color palette and varying cell-size.
The generation dialog-side helps to determine the incremental width and minimum-time of the indicated generations and the arithmetic-rule itself. Repeated changes to the calculation rule within a course may arise from the settings on the shapes dialog-side, leading to complex microorganisms.
The search dialog-side enables users to search for new, noteworthy forms, while in the colors and palette dialog-side, the color-like look of the generations is influenced for the game-course. The context-help and content-button in the help-application offer closer details on how to navigate the different dialog forms.
In addition, users can manipulate the current generation of microorganisms by selecting 'cell-input' in the Universe of LIFE menu or simply pressing the F2 key. One can place the cursor with the mouse or cursor buttons on the game field-position they would like to alter. Using the left mouse button or enter key, they can either remove an existing cell or create a new one in an empty field. The input-plane becomes selected with the mouse-wheel or the a- and s-button of the keyboard. In the status bar, the cell-coordinates are displayed for additional control.
Overall, JK-ware Universe of LIFE Theater is a comprehensive PC application that caters to various aspects of microorganisms' life-like simulations. With its comfortable support and manipulation features, users can efficiently create and observe the beautiful graphic forms and surprising shapes of microorganisms of different complexities.
