Save humanity from Darwin Award winners.
Move: Arrow keys WASD IJKL
Swap: Space X
Donate: Ctrl Z
If the graphics rendering slows down too much, toggle display of edges with the 'e' key.
This game requires a nice balance of all the various parameters and I am not sure I have achieved that yet. If you find yourself failing too often or succeeding too easily, feel free to tweak the source in Processing.
Some knowledge of the human HLA sytem may be useful
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human_leukocyte_antigen
but the allele nomenclature used here is simulated.
Tools used:
Processing
Pickle Editor
GIMP
Audacity
Figure
Piccolo2D
Piccolo2D library for Processing
Nest library for Processing
Gamepad library for Processing
Various http://dishevelled.org libraries
Guava, Apache Commons Math
Note Processing requires Java JRE or JDK version 1.6 or later (open-jdk is fine).

This adds an intro screen where you can input the various simulation parameters, a halo to identify the player character, and a visual indicator for the process of donating alleles from the player character to the recipient.
