As you play
SimLife, the different plants and animals will visually appear in a few different ways. None of these ways truly and accurately shows the way these organisms look. These electronic organisms exist as ones and zeros—energy states in transistor switches in the memory chips of your computer. Assuming that most of the beings that play SimLife are human, and that none of the humans we know can see energy states in transistor switches, we
figured we’d better find some way to visually
represent SimLife-forms in a way that humans can see and
understand.
