Abstract
A method for teaching chemical reaction mechanisms to a user includes a step of presenting a user with a graphical representation of a first molecule including a plurality of atoms. The graphical representation is presented to the user on a display. A first atom selection or bond selection is received from the user by a pointing device. A first set of atom features or bond feature are graphically displayed to the user. A first input is received from the user to alter bonding or structure of the first molecule. A graphical display of an altered molecule representing the first selection is presented on the display.
Claims15
A method comprising:
- a) presenting a user with a graphical representation of a first molecule including a plurality of atoms, the graphical representation being presented on a display;
- b) receiving a first atom or bond selection from the user by a pointing device;
- c) presenting a first set of atom features to the user for the first atom or bond selection;
- d) receiving a first input from the user to alter bonding or structure of the first molecule;
- and
- e) displaying an altered molecule from the first input.
An electronic device for playing a game:
- a display;
- a computer processor configured to:
- present a user with a graphical representation of a first molecule including a plurality of atoms, the graphical representation being presented on a display;
- receive a first atom or bond selection from the user by a pointing device;
- present a first set of atom features to the user for the first atom or bond selection;
- and
- receive a first input from the user to alter bonding or structure of the first molecule;
- and
- display an altered molecule from the first input.
A non-transitory computer-readable medium comprising instructions of a game application that, when executed by a computer processor, perform operations of:
- present a user with a graphical representation of a first molecule including a plurality
- of atoms, the graphical representation being presented on a display;
- receive a first atom or bond selection from the user by a pointing device;
- present a first set of atom features to the user for the first atom or bond selection;
- receive a first input from the user to alter bonding or structure of the first molecule;
- and
- display an altered molecule from the first input.
