1. A cellular telephone breeding toy comprising:
- a first memory of the cellular telephone configured to store a plurality of vectors, each vector representing genetic traits of a corresponding breedable object;
a second memory of the cellular telephone configured to store a plurality of sets of image templates, there being at least one element of each vector associated with each image template;
input means for selecting a particular one of the plurality of vectors associated with the corresponding breedable object;
processor means for compositing selected ones of the image templates according to the genetic traits of the corresponding breedable object, the compositing stacking the selected image templates in an image buffer of the memory in a predetermined order; and
a screen buffer coupled to the image buffer to render an image of the corresponding breedable object according to the genetic traits on a display of the cellular telephone.

Abstract
A cellular telephone breeding toy includes a memory storing genetic traits of corresponding breedable virtual fish. The memory also stores sets of image templates, there being at least one genetic trait associated with each image template. A keypad is used to select one or more of the virtual fish, and to render the virtual fish according to the genetic traits and the sets of image templates. Lineage of the virtual fish can also be displayed, and the virtual fish can be traded between cellular telephones using communications protocols. Genetic traits of two virtual fish can be combined randomly to generate off-springs.
