The Wild Kingdom of “Spore”野生王國“孢子”

Spore孢子 looks to be a truly amazing game in the works from the original creators of看來是一個真正了不起的遊戲，在工程從原始的創造者 Simcity模擬城市 . 。 It seems to combine elements of some other classic simulation strategy games such as這似乎相結合的要素其他一些經典的模擬策略遊戲，如 Populous人口 and和 Civilization文明 , crossed with the more modern “god” games such as ，過與更現代的“神”等遊戲 Impossible Creatures不可能的動物 and和 Black and White黑與白 . 。 One一個 of my brothers我的兄弟 and I played lots of strategy games growing up and while I don’t really make time to play often anymore (my work is enough of a challenge) I do kinda miss ‘em.和我打了很多策略遊戲中成長，而我真的不騰出時間來發揮，往往不再（我的工作是足夠的挑戰）我kinda小姐'教統。

I used to play the little known我曾經發揮鮮為人知 Simlife simlife , released in 1992 by the same folks it was a sort of precursor to Spore and remains a personal sentimental favorite. ，發表在1992年由同一鄉親這是一個排序的前體，以孢子和個人仍然是一個感性的最愛。 Since I studied evolutionary genetics for my B.Sc.自從我研究了進化遺傳我的理學士 at McGill’s在麥基爾的 laboratory for experimental evolution實驗室的實驗演變 I spent a lot of time at a microscope and in the genetics lab.我花了很多時間，在顯微鏡下，以及在遺傳學實驗室。 I was naturally interested in我當然有興趣 evolutionary models using artificial life進化模式，使用人工生命 , particularly Tierra and Population (if you know where to find “Population” please let me know). ，尤其是提厄拉和人口（如果你知道在哪裡可以找到“人口”請讓我知道） 。 What was interesting with Simlife was the way you could inspect and modify是什麼有趣的是，與simlife方式，你可以檢查和修改 genes, the organisms or their environments基因，生物或其環境 making it a useful tool for understanding the causes and effects of biological evolution.使其成為一個有用的工具，為了解原因和影響的生物進化。 This also made it entirely inaccessible as a game for most folks without a biology degree who just wanted to have fun.這也發了言，它完全無法作為一個遊戲，為大多數人沒有一個生物學的程度，誰只想得到樂趣。 Those interested in giving it a go I’m happy to lend my copy, which can still run fine on windows:有興趣者賦予它轉到我很高興地借給我的副本，仍可以運行於Windows的罰款：

Spore, however, looks like a LOT of FUN for pretty much anyone.孢子，不過，看起來像很多樂趣，為非常人。 My concern with Spore is that it is less about understanding evolutionary processes and more about playing god, and thus may appeal to the我所關注的與孢子是，這是少講了解進化過程和更多關於公平的上帝，從而可能向上訴 intelligent design智能設計 crowd, possibly even helping their人群，甚至可能幫助他們 campaign of misinformation運動的錯誤信息 . 。 I’ll reserve judgement until I can actually can touch and feel this game.我將儲備的判斷，直到我可以，其實可以接觸，並認為這遊戲。

You can check out the game in detail in the excellent presentation below, I recommend at least watching the opening sequence which reminded me of one of my favorite all-time stories:您可以檢查出來的遊戲，詳列於出色地介紹了下面，我建議至少收看開幕序列提醒我，一個我最喜愛的全時間的故事： The Planiverse該planiverse : ：

Regardless of whether the game is reasonably educational or downright misleading regarding the不論是在合理的遊戲教育或徹頭徹尾的誤導有關 process of biological evolution過程中生物進化 , the first thing I will do in Spore is try to create or “evolve” a ，第一件事，我會做的孢子是在嘗試創建或“演變”一 Flying Spaghetti Monster意大利麵條的飛行怪物 . 。
