Tarantism Posted May 5, 2006 Report Posted May 5, 2006 i am wondering if there are any existing programs which would simulate what it would be like to be in a chemistry lab? if not, how would you develop one? it would need to be a click-and-drag kinda thing, with realistic reactions and such. if one could be developed, it could be some fun, and also could be useful becausse the program could be used (if realistic enough) in chem classes to test reactions and such. any ideas? :) Quote
alexander Posted May 6, 2006 Report Posted May 6, 2006 probably no luck in finding one, but you can alsmost certainly write one, just learn some C or if you want quick, DarkBasic, some 3d models, some serious knowledge of how labs operate, and then its just a few hundred thousand lines of code away...

JackOfTraDeZ Posted May 6, 2006 Report Posted May 6, 2006 Why simulate a chemistry lab? I work in one every day - it's loadz a fun! Give the real thing a try! Serious - if you are looking for software that simulates chemistry and chemical reactions - there is tons of it. Google for it. Much of it is very sophisticated and I don't know what your level of expertise is. Quote
Tarantism Posted May 6, 2006 Author Report Posted May 6, 2006 well, the idea is that i want to be able to "practice in a lab" from home becuase i am not in school right now. its a way to practice. c1ay, i opened that link and i dont think that i got the right page. what was the link? Quote
alexander Posted May 7, 2006 Report Posted May 7, 2006 that link leads to the right page, i just tested it... Quote
C1ay Posted May 7, 2006 Report Posted May 7, 2006 Oops, I assumed you would be able to navigate their website. Try clicking on "Downloads" when you get there. It's right there on the homepage for ChemLab that I linked to. There's an evaluation download available there. Once you try it click on "Products" then "Ordering and Pricing" to buy either of the full versions they have available. Quote
