Description
Play with atoms in this sandbox of made-up physics and weird asymmetrical forces.
How to Play
Use the toolbar to Add, Move and Erase the atoms.
Use spacebar as a shortcut for pause/play.
Also get the game on Google Play: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.AlejoLab.CrazyAtoms&hl=en

has the potential to be awesome if packaged with bar batteries and static atoms
Thanks for your comment! I'm open to suggestions on things to add to the simulation. What do you mean by "bar batteries"?

basically i meant if you were to add rectangular, or "bar" shaped "atoms" with polarities.
...or on a broad stroke, Magnets!
The atoms you currently have would be like different metals or conductors in small bits. ..for instance, if it could be set out as a larger playground for magnetic/metal's energy fields, it then could actually be used as a study tool, or to just practice magnetic theory on a 2d scale.
The potential for this is endless!
..from recreating Edward Leedskalnin's experiments in the handbook, "Magnetic Current", to seeing the beautiful pattern that a bunch of small iron balls (or shavings) make when subjected to a bar magnet's energy field.
I know it is a lot to hope for in a developer to make sure it is that accurate, but if were created, I would recommend that type of program to anyone who is studying the most basic (or call back for the most advanced) physics students.
Plus it would save sooo much money!
Thank you for responding,

That's really interesting, but as you say, making it accurate is a hard task. To be able to recreate the real workings the model should be previously known, and Leedskalnin's proposed model is subject to a lot of unknowns. In the current game the forces are simple attraction/repulsion behaviours so fields where others atoms align is not something that can happen easily. Anyway, I think I can add other types of atoms and some way to "weld" atoms together so dipoles can be simulated that way. I'll keep the idea of doing a more realistic "Magnetic playground" in mind, just in case coding inspiration strikes me some day. Really interesting comment. Love that you related it with real fringe science.
