ABSTRACT

The students in a science classroom are chattering away as they play with the latest computer simulation. A virus is about to wipe out a small community. Will the inhabitants discover a way to survive? A small group of students in one corner stare intently at a computer, waiting for the results. As they wait, the virus mysteriously infects a few players on the other side of the classroom. Shrieks echo through the room as each new set of red indicates that another player has succumbed to the disease. Each player struggles to evade the spreading disease. Without warning, red emblazon the whole population. The disease has run its course.
