After many attempts, I found out that the most important factor is the timing, in that the slime mold needs around two days to cross the bridge. Longer than that then it will remain on its side. In contrast, earlier than that then it will not cross the bridge. | ||

Further possibilities are to prepare more organisms and program the specific visuals for each of them, since I've worked with many organisms for this project and I noticed that they actually have slightly diverse electric potentials.
