The Cell Database

The Cell Database is a list of all of the species created for the Simulation that have not yet gone extinct. Click any species to see more information about it, including comments by its creator, what type of species it is, which organelles it has, the data the creator received when he or she tested the species, and current statistics on how it is doing in the Simulation. We encourage you to browse through the Cell Database before or while you create your own species so that you can learn from what other users have done.

Click a species' name to view more information about it, or click its icon to see it in the Simulation world. Here is a key to cell icons:
Spirochete Icon 1, Spirochete Icon 2, and Spirochete Icon 3 represent spirochetes.
Cyanobacteria Icon 1, Cyanobacteria Icon 2, and Cyanobacteria Icon 3 represent cyanobacteria.
Paramecia Icon 1, Paramecia Icon 2, and Paramecia Icon 3 represent paramecia.
Amoeba Icon 1, Amoeba Icon 2, and Amoeba Icon 3 represent amoebas.
Pyrrophyte Icon 1, Pyrrophyte Icon 2, and Pyrrophyte Icon 3 represent pyrrophytes.
Euglena Icon 1, Euglena Icon 2, and Euglena Icon 3 represent euglenas.

The Simulation is currently on turn number 4583 (it's been 3.13 years!). Remember, there are four turns per day, at 5:00 AM, 11:00 AM, 5:00 PM, and 11:00 PM U.S. eastern time.
