Atoms

---

Yes! It's a full featured graphical particle simulator for your home computer! Watch over 4000 particles zip around for hours on end!

Colorful! Amazing! Hypnotic! Interesting! Educational! Particular!

Atoms features:

• Over 4000 particles
• 256 color display
• Particle box is 150x150 pixels, with a virtual simulation space of 9600x9600.
• Charting option displays a graph of one of a dozen different statistics - while the simulation runs.
• Keyboard menu-driven interface - works while the simulation runs.
• You control the simulation with dozens of variables:
  • Control a single gravity particle (mass, location)
  • Control the simulation's cycles/second
  • Determine how particles are created, intereact, and are destroyed, including:
    • Number of particles
    • Elasticity
    • Collision detection:
      • none
      • elastic
      • fusion
      • fission
    • New particle angle, velocity, variation
    • Create particles periodically, manually, automatically
    • Create particles out of pulsars, empty space, or other particles.
• Obtain many statistics:
  • Cycles/second
  • Number of particles
  • Age of particles
  • Particle speed
  • Charting
  • Geiger counter
  • Field plot
• Documentation is included!

Requirements:

• PC compatable with MS-DOS (of course)
• Standard VGA (any VGA)
• About 250K free conventional memory
• 386 processor (Full functioning 8086 and 286 versions can be compiled)
• No coprocessor required or used.

Don't let its small size fool you - Atoms is guarranteed to make many hours of your life mysteriously dissapear into a molecular fog.

Atoms was written by Marty White and Rama Hoetzlein, in conjunction with the Core Group, including: Sparky, Gridlok, Ewan, and John-Jay.

Plain VGA DOS application (works fine under 95 & NT).

Now includes C source code, distributed under the GNU General Public License.
Compiles for DOS with Borland C/C++.
