And God Created HTML
The Garden of Eden works like a browser. You feed it a URL and it interprets the data. The text becomes the engine that drives the dance of the main characters. And the code defines the world.

Do the Quake
The moves Adam and Eve make, are based on the traditional moves characters in 3D games, like Quake3Arena, make:
death1, death2, death3, taunt, weapon attack, melee attack, change weapon, weapon idle, melee idle, crouched walk, walk, run, backpedal, swim, jump forward, jump forward-land, jump backward, jump backward-land standing idle, crouched idle, turn in place
Each letter of the alphabet represents a move. The letters on the left side of a computer keyboard are Eve's moves, the letters on the right side those of Adam. As the engine moves through the entire document, it makes Adam and Eve move according to the letters it encounters.
