sentences: Creatures is an artificial life (alife) computer program series, created in the mid-1990s by English computer scientist Steve Grand whilst working for the Cambridge video games developer Millennium Interactive.
 Gameplay focuses on raising alien creatures known as Norns, teaching them to survive, helping them explore their world, defending them against other species, and breeding them.
 Words can be taught to creatures by a learning computer (for verbs) or by repeating the name of the object while the creature is looking at it.
 After a creature understands language, the player can instruct their creature by typing in instructions, which the creature may choose to obey.
 A complete life cycle is modelled for the creatures - childhood, adolescence, adulthood, and senescence, each with their own particular needs.
 The gameplay is designed to foster an emotional bond between the player and their creatures.
 Rather than taking a scripted approach, Creatures series games were driven by detailed biological and neurological simulation and their unexpected results.
 There were six major Creatures releases from Creature Labs.
 Between 1996 and 2001, there were three principal games released, the Docking Station add-on (generally referenced as a separate game) and two children's games, and there were three games created for console systems.
 A sequel named "Creatures Online" was in development, with the artificial life technology from Creatures 3 and Docking Station updated to a 3D environment.
John G.F. Francis (born 1934) is an English computer scientist, who in 1961 published the QR algorithm for computing the eigenvalues and eigenvectors of matrices, which has been named as one of the ten most important algorithms of the twentieth century.
 The algorithm was also proposed independently by Vera N. Kublanovskaya of the Soviet Union in the same year.
Professor Martin C. Henson FBCS FRSA (born 14 October 1954) is an English computer scientist based at the University of Essex.
 He is Dean for International Affairs and is affiliated to the School of Computer Science & Electronic Engineering.
Craig Warner (born 25 April 1964) is a multiple award-winning playwright and screenwriter who lives and works in Suffolk, England.
 He wrote "The Queen's Sister" for Channel 4, which was nominated for several BAFTA awards (including Best Single Drama), "Maxwell" for BBC2, which garnered a Broadcasting Press Guild Award nomination for Best Single Drama and won David Suchet an International Emmy for Best Actor, and "The Last Days of Lehman Brothers", for which Warner was longlisted for a BAFTA Craft Award for Best Writer, and which won him the award for Best Writer at the Seoul International Drama Awards in 2010.
 He wrote the mini-series "Julius Caesar" for Warner Bros., which gained Warner a Writers Guild Award nomination for Best Original Long-Form Drama, and he performed an extensive uncredited rewrite on "The Mists of Avalon", also for Warner Bros., which was nominated for a Writers Guild Award and nine Emmys, including Best Mini-series.
 Warner wrote the screenplay for "Codebreaker", a film about Alan Turing.
Andrew I. Adamatzky (Russian: А.
 И.
 Адамацкий ) is a Russian and English computer scientist, a professor in the department of computer science at the University of the West of England in Bristol, where he works in the International Center of Unconventional Computing.
 Prior to moving to England, Adamatzky was a research fellow in the Biophysics department at Saint Petersburg State University in Saint Petersburg, Russia, and also worked for Galafox Ltd. there.
Chris M. N. Tofts (born 1964) is an English computer scientist.
Edgar Frank "Ted" Codd (19 August 1923 – 18 April 2003) was an English computer scientist who, while working for IBM, invented the relational model for database management, the theoretical basis for relational databases.
 He made other valuable contributions to computer science, but the relational model, a very influential general theory of data management, remains his most mentioned achievement.
Michael ("Mike") Woodger (born 28 March 1923) is a pioneering English computer scientist.
 He was influential in the development of the early Pilot ACE computer, working with Alan Turing, and later the design and documentation of programming languages such as ALGOL 60 and Ada.
 He was based at the National Physical Laboratory (NPL) located in Teddington, London, for most of his career.
Derick Wood (1940–2010) was an English computer scientist who worked for many years as a professor of computer science in Canada and Hong Kong.
 He was known for his research in automata theory and formal languages, much of which he published in collaboration with Hermann Maurer and Arto Salomaa, and also for his work in computational geometry.
Alan Mathison Turing ( ; 23 June 1912 – 7 June 1954) was an English computer scientist, mathematician, logician, cryptanalyst, philosopher and theoretical biologist.
