About
ChemBine is a small educational game built in Unity: drag element tiles together, and if the combination forms a real compound, it locks in and teaches you what you made. The chemistry data (elements, valid combinations, compound names) lives in a SQLite database the game queries at runtime, so adding new compounds is a data change, not a code change. UI runs on TextMesh Pro for crisp text at any resolution, and a built-in high-contrast mode swaps the palette for players who need stronger separation between elements and background.
The work
Dragging, combining, and the feedback when a compound forms.
TextMesh Pro UI and the high-contrast mode side by side.
Built to make the periodic table feel like a toy box: pick things up, combine them, and see what happens.
