/prog/ Challenge -- Hydrocarbons [Heroic]

The challenge: Develop a program that takes in the notation of a hydrocarbon in standard form, and outputs a correct ball-and-stick graphical representation of that hydrocarbon.

The Deadline: 2010-08-30 20:00

Your implementation will be judged based on the following guidelines:


1. Accuracy
2. Consistency
3. Run time
4. Clarity of output
5. Code readability
6. Overall functionality


Good Luck!

Fuck your ball-and-stick model.
