About #

C.A.R.E.N. is a simulation game of a battle between viruses and antibodies in your body. Both have their unique genetic codes which determine their behavior.

It is a course project therefore there are some specs that we must follow, like make this a front-end web + back-end server architecture and communicate using REST API… which is not the most suitable for making a game, but we managed to make it work to some degree.

It’s like those games where you can “code your units”.

• See C.A.R.E.N.’s source code on GitHub
