Welcome to the Molecular_Playground wiki!

The in-depth wiki is still a WOP, but for now, here is our basic list of to-do's

To Do:

For Us:

• Checkout UnityMol
• Checkout NanoOne
• Look at paid version of Unity to see if it gives any useful developer tools, such as an expanded profiler
• Work on wiki

Bug Fixes and Improvements:

• Fix glitchiness regarding bond stubs
• Add a way for naturally forming molecules to be detected
• Make extra arms better designed
• Remove guns models and replace with cool looking molecules and bacteria
• Add better textures
• Improve usability and ergonomics regarding the tractor beam and grab tool
• Add ability to form double bonds when creating custom molecules
• Make more accurate chemical rules

Creativity:

• Have atom spawners on arms that allow you to spawn new atoms just by grabbing
• Have a way to upload your molecular creations
• Be able to view those creations, and others in some sort of bookshelf, or viewing area
• Add scissor tool to be able to "snip" and break bonds, without having to pull them apart

Game Design:

• Perhaps add some sort of puzzle with creating new molecules, that these new molecules could solve
• Give reward for progressing in game. New atoms unlocked? Change chemistry rules? New tools?

Quantum Mechanics:

• Add protons, neutrons, electrons, and give them some functionality. Maybe even quarks?

Gas Simulation:

• Breaking apart molecules on touch
• Have different speeds, don't lose energy upon touching walls
• Look at performance tips to add more molecules
• Look at particle systems as possible simulation tool

Water Simulation:

• Have weak springs that simulate hydrogen bonds between water molecules
• Ability to change temperature, and therefore change the state of matter of the water

Chemical Reaction:

• Show different steps in a chemical reaction, with all the intermediates
