This GitHub project contains my lab report (in both PDF and LaTeX formats) as well as the code for my simulations (writting using Processing). Part of the introduction to my lab has been recreated in Markdown below

In this lab, I set out to create a 3D simulation of ideal gas particles
in a cubic container in order to experimentally determine the pressure
of the gas based on given circumstances. From there, I planned to
explore the relationship between pressure and volume as well as pressure
and number of particles.To produce a simlation, a replication of a real
world circumstance using programming of a gas particle, it is first
necessary to understand exactly how particles affect the pressure of a
system. Pressure is the amount of force over a specific area, also
written as
The Ideal Gas Law describes the characteristics of ideal gas in a
container. Often written as
