This is a very cool idea. I would love to see more people doing things like this. My Gaming and Simulation class is currently evaluating this game while I am at my conference next week:<\/p>\n

The game
\nThe mission of Genes in Space is to collect a fictional substance dubbed Element Alpha. This represents genetic cancer data, which might underpin certain types of cancer.<\/p>\n

As a recruit of the game’s ‘Bifrost Industries’, your mission is to collect the valuable and tradable substance Element Alpha and rise through the employee ranks by:<\/p>\n

Mapping your route through the densest areas of Element Alpha.
\nFollowing your route as you fly through space collecting as much Element Alpha as you can, destroying asteroids along the way.
\nAvoiding and shooting asteroids to get to the next level of Element Alpha collection.
\nUpgrading your ship to become more powerful and trading your Element Alpha for more points.<\/p>\n
