Atomic v3: Pharo game
The goal of this game is to build a molecule using the given atoms.
The game will show a preview of the molecule to build on the top right corner. You can select an atom with a mouse click or by pressing the [TAB] key. You can move the atoms by pressing any of the cursor keys. Once an atom start moving, it cannot be stopped. It will only stop once it hits the wall or another atom. For that reason you must strategically decide which atoms to move and in which order.
This game was inspired on Atomix, from Ubuntu Linux.
