Disease! is distributed as an applet.  This is because, quite frankly, I developed it as an applet and couldn't figure out how to get it to run as an application in the 15 minutes I had left.  Anyway, to play, just double click on Disease!.html.  Make sure you're java is up to date.

If some of the graphics appear corrupted in the game, make sure you're running the latest version of Java.

Instructions on how to play and how the game relates to the theme of the contest are in Manual.txt.
