Sticky Elemental Snow 1c
Introduction: In this one, the cells build up, when they land on their position in the table. I did this one before the last one, but I thought the build up of color was interesting.

In this version I've added the color coding of the chemical group the element belongs to. For example, non-metals are green and transition metals are blue. We have a "static" version with the same color scheme in our learning tools.

I'm loving the colors on this one, it's very pretty and cool to watch them build up over time!

That tripped me out.

I wasted a bunch of development time, just watching this one. I couldn't help but wait to see how long it took for a cell to get so dark that you couldn't see the letter anymore.

I like this one as well. That's one of the best things about these types of experiments, is just the fun you can get from watching them (I can't tell you how many hours I've wasted staring at various automata and landscapes).

Thanks! I've spent a lot of time staring at you landscapes today :-)
