After a lot of tinkering, I think I was able to get everything working
and the project was done in such a way that elements 20+ could be added
at a later time (without excessive code like before). I think I
learned a lot about functions and iteration in this project and
while the drawing itself is not super complex, I learned a lot about
functions and debugging. I am also happy that this will be something
that I could possibly use in teaching chemistry.
drawing.py can now draw element "Ne" with the rings and nucleus showing.
I did this by miving the ring drawing and nucleus drawing functions into
the animation code block area.
I am going to use the drawing2.py file to work on the new method for
the helper functions to try to rewrite the code in a way that it can be
more easily scaled up.
