Not sure I agree with your characterisation of women as grave and prudish. Surely human beings of all creeds can see the funny side of being absorbed by a giant circle labeled "COCK".
There is a settings option to choose no names. That should allow you to spare your child the vulgarities of words, He or She will still have to deal with being eaten however.
I'm pretty sure it's a timer. Cells cannot merge for X seconds after splitting, but after that any two cells that have passed the threshold can be merged.
I have Vimperator for Firefox, and I had to ignore those keys (Shift + Esc) while playing in order to use the keyboard. Just FYI in case anyone else ran into the same thing.
Dev here. Client side is javascript, no frameworks or anything. Server side is C++ with libuv for abstracting networking (I test it on windows but the actual servers are linux).
I wonder if modeling this as a complex system with self interested agents and randomly appearing nodes could show some interesting emergent properties. At least it would be a worthwhile simulation. Does anyone know who is the creator of this game and whether the code is open source?
The "MMO" features were fake. All the other ships flying around were bots; the game ran locally on your computer. Disconnecting from the network broke the illusion, as the game continued to run normally.

[ 3.1 ms ] story [ 255 ms ] thread- edit To be clear, the ridiculous names people are using are offensive. Game was fun until the children showed up.
Or maybe it's just me.
If you have 16 cells, your big ones can also eat the green things and grow, instead of getting split up.
Also Googled and found, thanks to TJjokerR on steamcommunity forums, that the list is in "main_out.js" in the source code.

If you're looking for a more in-depth experience, check out Osmos [2], the single-player game that probably inspired this.

Seems like there were no asteroids.
