Let's set up the basic movement for these two particles so they move towards each other.

Instead of simply moving at a fixed speed, we can calculate a force based on their distance from each other and apply that to their movement.\n\nLet's update your `script.js` to implement this idea. Here’s how we can do it:\n\n```javascript\n// script.js\nlet proton;\nlet electron;\n\nfunction setup() {\n createCanvas(windowWidth, windowHeight);\n proton = new Particle(width * 0.25, height / 2, 'red');\n electron = new Particle(width * 0.75, height / 2, 'blue');\n}\n\nfunction draw() {\n background(255);\n proton.moveTowards(electron);\n electron.moveTowards(proton);\n proton.display();\n electron.display();\n}\n\nclass Particle {\n constructor(x, y, color) {\n this.x = x;\n this.y = y;\n this.color = color;\n this.size = 20;\n this.speed = 0.5; // Speed of movement can be lower for a smoother approach\n }\n\n moveTowards(other) {\n // Calculate the distance between particles\n let distance = dist(this.x, this.y, other.x, other.y);\n let force = map(distance, 0, width, 0, 5); // Calculate force based on distance\n\n // Calculate angle towards the other particle\n let angle = atan2(other.y - this.y, other.x - this.x);\n \n // Update position based on the force\n this.x += cos(angle) * force;\n this.y += sin(angle) * force;\n }\n\n display() {\n fill(this.color);\n ellipse(this.x, this.y, this.size);\n }\n}\n```\n\n### How it works:\n- **Speed Adjustment**: I reduced the default speed to 0.5 for smoother movement.\n- **Force Calculation**: The `moveTowards` method now calculates a force based on the distance between the two particles using the `map` function. This means the closer they get, the stronger the pull will be.\n- **Movement Update**: The position updates based on the calculated force, allowing for a dynamic approach towards each other.\n\nPlease replace the code in your `script.js` file with the updated code above.

Here’s the modified code:\n\n```javascript\n// script.js\nlet proton;\nlet electron;\n\nfunction setup() {\n createCanvas(windowWidth, windowHeight);\n proton = new Particle(width * 0.25, height / 2, 'red');\n electron = new Particle(width * 0.75, height / 2, 'blue');\n}\n\nfunction draw() {\n background(255);\n proton.moveTowards(electron);\n electron.moveTowards(proton);\n proton.display();\n electron.display();\n}\n\nclass Particle {\n constructor(x, y, color) {\n this.x = x;\n this.y = y;\n this.color = color;\n this.size = 20;\n }\n\n moveTowards(other) {\n // Calculate the distance between particles\n let distance = dist(this.x, this.y, other.x, other.y);\n \n // Only move if they are not overlapping\n if (distance > this.size / 2 + other.size / 2) {\n let force = map(distance, 0, width, 0, 5); // Calculate force based on distance\n let angle = atan2(other.y - this.y, other.x - this.x);\n // Update position based on the force\n this.x += cos(angle) * force;\n this.y += sin(angle) * force;\n }\n }\n\n display() {\n fill(this.color);\n ellipse(this.x, this.y, this.size);\n }\n}\n```\n\n### Changes made:\n- **Collision Check**: In the `moveTowards` method, added a condition to check if the particles are overlapping. They will only move towards each other if the distance is greater than their combined radius.\n- **Removed Speed Variable**: The speed variable was removed since we are now controlling their movement based on the collision check.\n\nPlease replace your existing `script.js` file with this updated code.
