Biogenesis 0.8

Biogenesis project is a unicellular organism evolution simulator.

Biogenesis simulates in a visual fashion the processes involved in the evolution of unicellular organisms in nature.

It tries to be a didactic approximation to the ideas of mutation or evolution, and can be enjoyed also as an entertainment.

It's intended to serve as a support to show students some basic biological facts. The idea of Biogenesis is taken from Primordial Life, but it's an independent project.

· The application should be multiplatform.
· There should exist translations in many languages. At the moment, there are only Catalan, English and Spanish translations.
· The representation should be abstract and simplified, but still scientifically accurate.
· It should be actively maintained.
· A good documentation should be enclosed with the application.
· It should be amusing.

Requirements:

· JRE version 6 or later
