Hi, i would like to basically represent a group of cells multiplying and dyeing.

I have some data im pulling in, from an xml file and would like this to generate some cells. I have figures that change frequenly, so for example, if the figure increases i would like the cell to multiply and if the figure decreases i would like cells to die off.

If any one point me in the direction of some examples or give me some ideas about the best way to do this i would really appreciate it.

As you can see im not sure if i should be looking at flocking or recursion etc so PLEASE PLEASE SOMEONE HELP

Many Thanks,

Sam
