I don't know if any of you have seen this yet, but I put it here because it could have easily fit into 3 or 4 different forums. Technology, video games, etc...

OMG, i think EVERYONES seen spore...but if you havent ZOMG SEE IT NOW!

Its absolutely revolutionizing in the game industry.

The entire basis of the game is based off the small clip "Powers of 10". You start off as a single celled organism, to (after awhile) a multicelluar primitive being, to a small tribe, to a small civilation, to a large civilation, to a galactic civilation. All starting from a single cell.

As each stage goes through its "Evolution cycle" your able to customize your race with points you spend to give it more mouths/claw/fins/tails anything really to help it adapt to its new enviroment.

When you hit the tribal stage your able to customize the way buildings look and so on and so forth. Your race can actually be set aggresive or passive depending on how you play (Yes it checks how you play).

Each character that gets made and evolves are completly animated through code. I forget the terminology that gets used, but the engine itself looks at the skeletal structure and where its appendiges are located and animates on the spot.

If you really want to know more about this game, I'd really suggest looking at ALL the videos they have out. It really explains the game and all of its glory.
