What it does
The code simulates what atoms do in a chemical reaction. Atom and molecule objects move in a pattern-less fashion (also known as thermal motion) in a 3-D coordinate system, and on collision, steric and energy factors will be taken into account to decide whether a reaction has taken place, and whether bonds form or break. In theory, the system will in the end, reach a state of equilibrium with a stable mixture of chemicals.
How I built it
Using java and the core code of processing as a reference library
Challenges I ran into
It is hard to manage a molecule as a whole, keeping the atoms' relative position unchanged while the whole molecule can still freely rotate and move around
Accomplishments that I'm proud of
I was able to display this system using processiong
What I learned
How to work with graphical interfaces
