Virion was the winner of the 2011 Hidden Agenda educational game competition. The game is intended to teach kids (or adults!) about the basic workings of the human immune system. Players who fully grasp the mechanics of the game will also have absorbed a general intuition about the first line of defence in our bodies, including macrophages, antibodies, T-Cells, and granulocytes.

Virion was built using the open HTML5 standard, the Processing.js JavaScript library, and no proprietary plugins. The entire source code is available on Github.
