Breaking Elements

Inspired by the TV series Breaking Bad, this app enables you to create images similar to the title sequences, where elements from the periodic table take the place of letters.

You can use this to personalize your wallpaper on smartphone, tablet or PC. You can illustrate your chemistry files, and you can craft social media pictures.

The output picture is the result of three highly configurable components and your creative actions:

1. Your selected underlying image can be zoomed and positioned with respect to the text to shape your outcome

2. The text lines you type are analyzed for chemical element codes from the periodic table

3. Those elements that you select are displayed as basic or advanced symbols

Long pressing an element name in the list of chemicals found will show a dialog with detailed info on this item in the periodic table.

The app user interface is available in (US) English, Spanish, German, French and Dutch, the help file is English only.

The element names have been translated into British, Belarusian, Catalan, Czech, Danish, Dutch, Esperanto, Estonian, Finnish, French, Galician, German, Greek, Hungarian, Icelandic, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Latvian, Lithuanian, Norwegian, Occitan, Polish, Portuguese, Russian, Simplified Chinese, Slovak, Spanish, Swedish, Turkish, Ukrainian, and West Frisian.

English is not my first language; I welcome any improvements to this text and the texts in the app, on andrapp@xs4all.nl
