Membrane Simulation: Cell Division

This is a project for Principles of Modern Biology at Olin College. Each membrane is a mass-spring system which rests on top of a diffusion gradient. Both diffusion and inter-lipid forces cause the membrane to change shape. We approximate intra-cellular activity by adding concentration inside the cell. When the membrane reaches a critical size, it begins to divide. The simulation was writting in Python using PyGame.
