A game where you search and build molecules.

In this game, your goal is to find all possible structures of acyclic alkanes (molecules that consist of single-bonded carbon and hydrogen atoms) ranging from one to six carbon atoms.

By changing the arrangement of atoms without changing the chemical formula of the compound and searching for new structures, you will have a fun introduction to organic chemistry.

The game is available in three languages: English, French and Russian.

This extension was developped within the Grenoble Game Lab project funded by the French IDEX initiative.

Discovering Alkanes is an extension for SAMSON,
the integrative platform for molecular design.
