Protein Fighter: a fighting game that teaches you pLDDT and PAE the intuitive way
sokrypton · x · 2026-09-14
sokrypton (of AlphaFold fame) shipped "Protein Fighter," a two-player browser fighting game where health bars are pLDDT confidence scores and hits unfold into PAE maps (0–30 Å), with chains rendered in N-to-C rainbow colors as folded/unfolded states. A playful, surprisingly intuitive way to internalize protein-structure metrics; character designs credit Hannes Stark and Alex Waldherr.
