It let's you simulate protons, neutrons, electrons and photons incident an almost any element. Makes a nice 3D visualization too. Wrote it myself, so be nice ;-)

Is there a program where I can
- define different particle types
- set and customize particle features (for example size, attraction/repulsion)
- connect particles into chains like molecules
And then simulate all that?
