Fold It! a protein-folding game
This is the "official" thread for the GitP Fold It Team.
You can find more information and download this free game HERE
If you're a science nerd like me, you too will see that this is a pretty exciting project.
If anyone has questions for other members or about the game this would be the place to put them.

Re: Fold It! a protein-folding game
Hmm, guess this is different than the other protein folding thing. Either way still surprised there isn't a HardOCP team. (It's an overclocking website, not a rap group :P)

Don't mind me. I'm just going to have some post traumatic flashbacks in the corner here and sob uncontrollably.

Re: Fold It! a protein-folding game
Yes, this is not the distributed computing project Folding@Home, but rather a new one that wonders if human videogamers can devise strategies that the expert systems haven't thought of. I don't know if it's plausible that coming up with a model for the scoring system is easier than folding the actual proteins, but it's an amusing enough thought. And the game has that offbeat vibe like Katamari Damacy, although it won't be solid win until it is released as WiiWare.
