# Arguments

You can set the arguments you expect when constructing an atom (and their default values).

```
element Explosion {
    arg size 10
    arg shape "circle"
}
```

When you make an Explosion atom somewhere in your code, you could use those arguments:

```
new Explosion(20, "circle")
```

Note: You would still need to implement what those arguments do in your element's code.
