"Gen" is a game where you collect particles with up to ten fingers. An unending amount of particles is running around the screen. You control them with your fingers and defeat opponents with them. Just by playing this game, many forms of "generative art" are created. When clearing each stage, your game records are transformed into a piece of visual art.

About "Generative Art"
Generative art means art created partly by an algorithm in automatic calculations, adding some source of randomness. While following some kind of pattern, there is always an element of surprise. Normally this element of surprise is derived from sources of randomness in a program, but in the "Gen" game the game play itself is used as a source of surprise. As a result of playing, you create different pieces of art that are unique.
