Reflection

This is not the first time even in this class where I overcomplicate things by trying to write more advanced code

Again I feel I need to be more realistic about the goal of the process- avoid optimizing functions I'm only using for simple tasks and make sure to iteratively build and test code I'm working on.

As with my experiences with other labs I do find the online particle IDE to be frustrating -causing the loss of work and making it hard to debug. I had tried the VScode environment earlier on in the course but I had forgotten how to work with it. This reminds me that it's worth taking the time to better utilize that environment.
