Bond. Game: Bond.

So. This game will come with a new periodic table of elements that shows hydrogen is the Uber proton. It will show bonding is a pyramid scheme (I mean Linnaean thingy). See attached picture for the starting point.

This game will not be a board game or a computer or app game. Instead, it is more like Simon. You hold the programmed components, tactile manipulatables, in your hands in order to create bonds.

Do this for every element found in nature.

If you try to bond elements where a bond can’t happen, the screen that is embedded in it shows a red X and makes a family feud noise.

The screen that is embedded in each element shows the Lewis structure until you properly bond it with another element. Then the screens of both elements reward you with some sort of light show and vibrational thingy and what their elements look like bonded in the Lewis structure.

At the same time it will show how it is either a metal or nonmetal, and whether it can bond covalently or ionically.

Each element will appear as the outer valence of its element, so that’s why the embedded screen will show the Lewis structure. Unless you can somehow construct its inner parts to show the Lewis structure, but 3D with valences.

It will be hooked up to GPS so it can tell you where each element needs to be distance-wise from the other elements to create a model to scale—you could see it on the screen as if you are one of the elements, or you can have multiple people go to actual locations. So, not every sphere/element will be the same size. They will also be the correct (natural) color.

Obviously to make more bonds, you need multiple copies of elements. However, you can also play with the screen to indicate how many of a certain element is bonding at each bond point (obv tactile manipulatables would be better…but, also expensive).

To win, you make the most number of bonds using the most number of unique elements in the least amount of time, either on the screen, or by going to gps locations (one player/team per tactile manipulatable).

This can be done with quarks, but not sure we should just yet.

Can be done with DNA, protein synthesis…

Did you copy and paste the app store description of some android game into this forum? What is this? What screen? What GPS coordinates?

If you want to play some chemistry game with us, you’re gonna have to give us a bit more here my friend.

No, this is not a copy paste job. If you’re insulting me it has gone over my head. If you have an actual question you should probably just ask it.

4

It’s not a joke or an insult, your OP reads like the description of some app you haven’t named. Mid-post, without context, you start referecing a ‘screen’.

What screen are you talking about? This is why it sounds like it’s copy-pasted from an app - apps display stuff on screens. You haven’t laid any context for a screen.

5

Is this a game that already exists that you want to play? Is this a game you’re inventing or imagining and trying to describe how you imagine it?

6

It is a game I want to exist outside my head but it is based on something that happens in nature. :wink:

Look at your phone. It is a tactile manipulatable with an embedded screen.

Still tangled up?

Right, so you’d like to invent a game where people have phones to interact with the game, and each person’s phone represents an atom, is that right?

And people can arrange themselves physically, which the app checks with GPS, into certain atomic structures (or molecular structures), is that right?

8

Not unless we start making phones that are shaped like the outer valence of atoms with dock points to other phones … unless of course the Internet (wifi, bluetooth, whatevs) already connects phones the way atoms connect :wink: In which case, we need to talk about how outer valences are unlike phones. And we prolly need to talk about geodesics of the large and small.

Question. Moons around planets—not every planet has a moon or more than one moon. Does something like that happen at the quantum level? Does variation decrease the further in you zoom, and increase the further out? If so, or if not, what might that imply? Picture a video of DNA synthesis before answering the question.

When “just add water” just adds fuel… adding iron also doesn’t work… heh.

It is actually more common for planets to have more than one moon… so Earth is in the minority, in that respect.

When I read/watched? about that -when young- I wanted Us to have more moons, so more glow in the night time sky… then again, they could all play havoc with our limbic systems in a ‘too many cooks’ kinda way.

Interesting :slight_smile:
