Akin to the game sim-ants, a colony of bacteria is pit against others, in a battle for pure-gut domination! Battles involve taking charge of resources, and evolving different abilities to spread territory and eliminate any challenging colonies. This game could also be used as an educational tool. Changing the diet between good diets and bad, can virtualize how each food is digested and why it is important to maintain a healthy diet. One could also introduce into the diet things such as metal, glass, fiberglass, rotten food, live animals/bugs, boiling water, lava, etc., although this would be an option only after you've conquered the gut (meaning the creation of a symbiotic relationship with your host).
