[edit] Gameplay
The plot centers around protagonist, Ron, and his fight to eliminate a virus out of a computer system. The player controls a miniature "space ship" that shoots anti-virus and other variations of the weapon to try to contain the virus in that room.
The virus in the game is a Cellular automaton following the rules of Conway's Game of Life, with the exception that each cell is either a virus cell (green) or a clean cell (light blue). As new cells are created, they either be virus cells or clean cells depending on which type makes up the majority of their neighbors.
