A simple, work-in-progress calculator for Ideal Gas Law.
This is a project that stemmed from wondering how I would translate the equation PV=nRT into code. I picked JavaScript because it's what I've been working with recently, and google came up with something workable. I wanted to restructure that and make it more dynamic and implementing Vue.js to make a full(ish) calculator was a natural step from there.
At this stage, this entire project was put together in four or five hours. Despite being mostly functional is very rough around the edges with a few rounding errors, and some graphics jumping because of imperfect CSS. It is not well optimized for mobile.
This project uses Vue.js via CDN, so it doesn't require installation of Vue CLI.
For development purposes you may change the CLN in the head of index.html reference from:
<script src="https://unpkg.com/vue@3/dist/vue.global.prod.js"></script>
to:
<script src="https://unpkg.com/vue@3/dist/vue.global.js"></script>
The easiest way to view the site is via Github Pages.
Alternately, you may follow these steps to run it locally:
- Download a .ZIP file of the repo
- Extract the files to a folder you will be able to easily find
- Open index.html in your favorite web browser (On Windows: open the browser and press
Ctrl+Oor double click on the file from your file explorer)
Contributions are welcome, but given the size of the project I would recommend fully cloning it and creating your own application using this as the base. It has been a good practice project and one I highly recommend.
That said, if there's a bug you want to squash I'd be much obliged.

Thanks Annie for telling me PV=nRT existed. (I'm only a little bit upset I've spent so long on this)
