The Atomic Applet  Click Here to Download!

This is the atomic applet. It symbolizes nuclear forces at work.

There are lots of parameters you can set on this applet, I've layed out the most interesting below:

bgcolor
The background color of the applet. This is helpful for getting the applet to blend into your page. (default 255,255,240 (paper white))
ringcolor
The ring color. Sets the color of the lines showing the electron orbits. (default red)
ecolor
The color of the electrons themselves. (default black)
electrons
The number of electrons, can be anything greater than 0, try 60 on a fast machine. (default 3)
speed
Determines how fast the electrons move. This is number of degrees per update. (default 5)
rotate
This sets the number of degrees the rings rotate per update. (default 10)
phase
The applet generates the rings using a pair of out of phase sine waves. By increasing the phase you can make the rings rounder. 0 is a straight line and 90 is a circle. (default 30).
