This new multimedia, web-based interactive game from NAI’s Virtual Planetary Laboratory team and JPL’s Planet Quest gives you the opportunity to create your own planet by varying parameters such as star type, distance from star, planet size, and planet age. Descriptions of how each parameter might affect habitability on the planet are given, and a picture of the planet you create can be downloaded. A recent review of the game from Boing Boing waxes philosophic about how the game promotes an understanding of the difference between “life as we know it” and “life.”
