jaio is a stochastic simulation game that consists in programming cells that are born, eat, breed and die in a two-dimensional world. these cells are true living beings struggling for existence. fueled by mutations and natural selection, evolution soon transforms everything programmed; life rolls on unstopped and unfathomed.tutorial levels guide you through learning the language, before moving on to game levels, where you code cells that will have to survive increasingly strong strains.you are both god and an apprentice, creating avid and impatient creatures, watching them evolve, survive or go extinct. |

not a few people have put in months of effort into jaio, including jean-françois, élisabeth, mathieu, pierre-olivier, caroline and others. we think we can trust people to do the right thing: if you like the game, if you really use it and if you can afford it, contribute.we think that if, as we do, you’ll happily drink your way through fifty bucks of thursday-night cinq à sept, then plunking down $10 seems reasonable. e-mail us. | linux? windows?we’re working on a qt version that we plan to compile for windows and linux. we’ve given qtcreator an honest try but, in the end, reluctantly, we’ve decided to go back to cmake and visual studio. we ain’t promising anything but we’re working on it. |
