Schematic of simulation system. (a) Cells are represented as green spheres of radius R. The amount of slime is proportional to the intensity of background colour (darker implying more slime). Cells can attach to other cells through TFP, which can extend to length A. (b) In the presence of a distant light source (indicated by a star), the colony morphology gradually changes.
