IDAT204 - Digital Organism Helix

So we've decided to create our idea based around a Helix. The idea of the Helix basically comes from something Luke found online, our idea has taken it a step further by thinking that we could make it grow to end up looking like a strain of DNA. In the next few posts i will talk about each version of the helix throughout it's life cycle.

The first step of the life cycle will be a small blob, to advance the small blob will have to eat a small circle, this circle we see as food. The idea to use the small circle is carrying on from the DNA idea, instead of just making it react as DNA would react, we have decided to work on the biology side of things. So the white dot moving up the screen, on a red background, is a play of the idea of a white blood cell. In the human body, white blood cells help skin grow back over wounds etc, that is what our white dot will do, help the organism grow.

Anyways enough about the food idea, here is our version of the blob, pretty simple so far.
