Not running the game's code on a biological computer (maybe that's next?) but showing the opening frame of the game rendered in bacteria is a good first step

The what now computer?

The researchers found that when two swarms of crabs collide, they merge and continue in a direction that is the sum of their velocities

I see this being incorporated into a maths lesson about vector addition.

They're made using these crabs.

Also called "soldier crabs"

Here's the summary for the wikipedia article you mentioned in your comment:

Mictyris guinotae is a species of soldier crab of genus Mictyris, endemic to the Ryukyu Islands of Japan. They were named after Danièle Guinot, a professor at the Muséum national d'histoire naturelle in France, and were first treated as a separate species in a tribute volume to Guinot.
