Supergirl or Monster?
This genome file I got breaks every
record! Although the creature file had about 380KB,
the genome file was over 6MB!
I used the Genetics Editor from Chris
Double to analyse it. I *think* the Genetics Kit could
have had some problems with it, as the loadable amount
of genes is limited. But I could be wrong there.
Anyway...
The genome contained the almost impossible
amount of 168119 genes! A "normal" Norn
genome consists of 811 genes. Time to use a calculator?
Well, then let me give you some other numbers:
378 Appearance genes (normally, there
are 5), but only the Appearance gene for "Tail"
was duplicated 373 times.
396 Neuro Emitter genes. (Normal norn:
1)
812 Organs (normally, a norn has only
21 organs)
395 Brains, or Brain Organs (normally
a norn needs only one brain...er..that's enough :-))
Well, I'm sure, now you think "Wow,
that must be a supernorn!" So many organs and
brains! The norn must survive almost everything, 'cause
there are so many spare ones and it must be also terribly
smart, having such a big brain! Well, let's have a
closer look at it...
I imported the genome into the game
and cloned it as a female norn (hence the title "Supergirl").
(Took the Eggmaker quite a while until it gave out
the egg...)
First of all, she was blind. She couldn't
see anything, didn't respond to me telling her "eat
fruit" or other food. There may be an agent which
forces norns to look at food and eat it, and maybe
this agent can force her focus on food, but without
"help" she doesn't eat anything, because
she cannot see it.
She constantly walks to the right side
of the screen. Telling also "right" when
being asked, what she is currently doing. She falls
off cliffs and bumps constantly in walls, cause there
are some walls (or doors) on the right screen side.
She doesn't open the door, she just walks into it.
Injury level was quite high, when I put her into the
medical chamber.
She's sterile. Without making her forcedly
pregnant (by means of the DDNA bank), no chance for
any offsprings. As you can see on the picture, the
Hoverdoc shows no chemicals present which are needed
for her fertility.
No ATP, very high level of ADP. Normally
she sould be dead. Maybe she lost the "Death
by low ATP" gene, but please don't ask me to
find it out, cause there are .... don't know how many
receptor genes I would have to go through! And I suspect
her being a Highlander. But I could be wrong there.
She cannot express any feelings, when
asked for. She sometimes says "tired" or
"hungry for starch", but she never answered
me asking her "express".
Although having Idontknowhowmany pose
and gait genes, she's got difficulties walking downhill.
In fact, it's almost impossible for her. Something
must be really messed up there... she also slightly
limps.
The game slows down a lot, when she
and a few other norns are present in the game. You
can export her but it's impossible to import her anew,
'cause the game won't let nornfiles in which are bigger
than 200KB (I got told.).
But imho she's got very nice colours
at stage adult :-)
Conclusions:
Is she now a supergirl or a monster?
Well, I think it's up to you to decide. Maybe neither
of them. She's not super smart or will survive everything
because of her many organs and genes. But she's not
a monster either, I'd say. Maybe a genome record and
someone should put her on the League Table? :-)
Downloadable Mutants
They are all Docking Station Norns.
Their genome is smaller than 200KB so you will be
able to import and export the Norns without problems.
They are all Fastagers.
Thanks:
To Quackyduck (or x2593714) for sending
me that genome file. Was really fun analyzing this!
To the developers of the Genetics Editor.
I think that was the ultimate test.:-)
To CL. 'Cause they still amaze me with
their Creatures games and it's possibilities.
