The Cell

The Cell is an interactive game developed in Flash and published by McLeodGaming. Created by Gregory McLeod for his biology class, it allows the player to explore and learn about the major organelles of a living.

Gameplay
The game features an from the viewpoint of a microscope lens, allowing the player to closely examine many of its major organelles, as well as several organelles exclusive to other, such as s, and even. These organelles will actively move and roughly simulate their functions. Hovering the mouse cursor over one of these organelles will show its name in the upper-left corner of the screen, and clicking on it will show a small window that gives a brief description of said organelle.

To adjust their view of the cell, the player can either zoom into or zoom out of the cell using a slider. Pressing the arrow keys will move the cell in the direction of the keys, and doing so while holding Shift will move the lens instead.

List of organelles
Below is a list of the 23 organelles available to choose from in-game, including the types of cells they can be found in and their descriptions provided in-game.
