This is my work playing around with trying to set up an opening line to
select an element and also trying to animate the electrons. This is the
work before Chris and I sat down to go over some of the animation, and
I am going to next incorporate the animation from that discussion
into this program. I have a lot of ideas here commented out and will
need to clean up some of the code next as I continue my work.
I was able to draw the rings using iteration and the 6 electrons to show
a carbon atom. I found the turtle documentation to be helpful in finding
some new functions to use such as moving to any spot in the coordinate
plane and drawing the electrons as dots.
For the next steps, I will try to incorporate some iteration for the
drawing of the electrons since it is a repetitive process. I found both
in this project and in the typeface problem set that I sometimes need
to write the code out a few times before trying to add in the iteration.
I then will animate the electrons and hope to be able to incorporate
some type of input that enables my drawing to draw a Bohr model for
different elements based on the user input, which is my longer term
goal.
