BioSynth

A terminal-based bio-hacking simulation. Master Regular Expressions (RegEx) to isolate, stabilize, and cure pathogens in a real-time 3D environment before the system breaches.

BIO-SYNTH: Gene Sequencer

A real-time CLI puzzle game where you use RegEx to repair mutating 3D DNA sequences. Built with Lazarus / Free Pascal.

BIO-SYNTH is a real-time laboratory crisis simulation game. Players take on the role of a Bio-Architect who must accurately use Regular Expression (RegEx) commands through a CLI Terminal interface to cleanse pollutants from DNA strands before the system overheats and triggers a System Breach.

🧬 Key Features

• Terminal-Based Gameplay: Full interaction via CLI with support for mutation commands and macro execution.
• Real-time 3D DNA Renderer: Interactive 3D DNA helix visualization, glassmorphism UI effects, and a scrolling sci-fi background.
• Dynamic Audio Engine: Responsive laboratory BGM ambience and alarm SFX powered by the BASS audio library.
• AI Core Assistant: An SQLite-driven in-game assistant to provide RegEx puzzle hints and system intelligence.

🛠️ Tech Stack & Dependencies

• Engine/IDE: Lazarus IDE / Free Pascal
• Graphics: BGRABitmap (required for UI canvas and 3D graphics rendering)
• Audio: BASS Audio Library (ensure bass.dll is placed in the project's /bin folder)
• Database: SQLite3 (the biosynth.db file must be located in the /data folder)
