A start-up has created a device that used the DNA of jellyfish in order to “code” videogames. The DNA being used is the DNA that makes jellyfish glows, which is used in the “coding” process to act as pixels. Because this technology is new, the games that can be made use a relatively small amount of pixels, such as Snake. Not only is this technology interesting, but it is also intended to be used as an educational tool. This technology is supposed to be assembled and “coded” by the user! As such, the bio-powered computer does not come assembled.
