/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!

There isn't enough information in the ``standard form'' (I'm assuming you mean the straightforward chemical formula; define what you mean if that isn't it) to compose the ball-and-stick representation. Unless you want something that will show you all possible structural isomers, in which case fuck you.
