atomic2d

A small C++ program built with raylib that visualizes atoms using a simplified Bohr style shell model.

You can adjust the number of protons, neutrons and electrons and see the resulting atom structure.

Element names are loaded from a text file and a link to element's Wikipedia page can be opened from the UI.

This project was done in ~4 hours as a small exercise of C++ and Raylib.

Features

• Bohr style electron shell visualization
• Adjustable protons, neutrons and electrons
• Element lookup from elements.txt
• Wikipedia link for the current element
• Simple GUI built directly with Raylib (no Raygui)

Requirements

• C++17
• CMake

Raylib is downloaded automatically with via CMake.

Build

git clone https://github.com/Zank613/atomic2d.git
cd atomic2d

mkdir build
cd build

cmake ..
cmake --build .

./atomic2d

Note

This is a visual model, not a physically accurate atomic simulation.

Electron shells follow a simplified 2n^2 capacity rule and are meant only for visualization.
