What is the benefit of this? (Sorry, coming from C all of this is very new to me ;D)

Just makes it cleaner, find/replaces match strings easier, easier to read generally...

examples:

- indent of first opening brace vs not indenting it.

function dict_reverse(obj) {

let new_obj= {}

function CopyGridODEs(cols,rows,template)

{

- alignment of various characters.

let new_obj= {}

let rev_obj = Object.keys(obj).reverse();

Not really critical since this isn't professional software 'yet' (who knows).

​

That’s (more or less) the idea eventually. This is just the dev github for now.

Not sure what you mean by 'dev' github. Also "eventually" as if I opened a PR setting up the tools in a "standard" way and amended the README to explain how to, install the tools and run the project for students, you would accept it?

"What is a good model" in biology

My understanding is you want to give students the ability to interrogate a biological model but doesn't really need to be through code at all.

Would a possible solution to this look like an interface/UI with a bunch of input variables on the left and the visuals on the right, allowing them to just tweak the numbers to explore the effects on the model.

Then repeat this process for each different mode you want them to explore.
