Snippets are ideas that haven't been developed fully yet.
The player will encounter increasingly difficult surroundings:
Extreme environments
Competing Cytoplanes
Viruses and Nanotechnology
Since the game takes place in three-dimensional space, the window will have an XYZ indicator with which they will orient themselves.
=== Sound ===
As you zoom out, your Cytoplane makes the sound that a hulking spaceship might be associated with. As you zoom in, certain sounds
=== Views ===
An information view of your cell can be overlaid. One view will color your cytoplasm, letting you see the distribution of your macromolecules and molecular feedstocks.
=== Events ===
Certain events such as mutations or sickness could occur.

I've seen some pretty spectacular diagrams of cells, and I was thinking... That should be a game.
I understand what you're saying, I'm going to have to come up with some pretty freaking creative gameplay to make this entertaining, but honestly, I don't think this is all that different than Sim City
I wonder, for example, if the player would build cytoskeleton for roads; they wouldn't have complete control over cytoskeleton, but they'd be able to put where they want the majority of the cytoskeleton would go from point A to point B... So, if they hooked up the trans face of the Golgi apparatus to the endoplasmic reticulum, nothing would happen, so that would help them learn how the cell works.
