Repelling stuff that goes round in a circle

This small side project "simulates" how electrons move around a nucleus. To be clear, that sentence was a complete lie: electrons moving around a nucleus is actually a super duper complex topic and all my program does is have a bunch of electrons (read boring circles) moving around in a loop. And these electrons happen to repel each other.

Despite its clear short-comings, I do think it turned out quite well and it was still a great project for developing skills in Pygame which is a very bare-bones game-engine.

All of the core mechanics where up to me to figure out. A significant portion of the logic involved vector maths which was super fun to get into and incredibly satisfying when it worked 😜
