In the present work we give an overview and implementation of an algorithm for building and integrating dynamic systems from reaction networks. Reaction networks have their roots in chemical reaction network theory, but their nature is general enough that they can be applied in many fields to model complex interactions. Our aim is to provide a simple to use program that allows for quick prototyping of dynamic models based on a system of reactions. After introducing the concept of a reaction and a reaction network in a general way, not necessarily connected to chemistry, we outlay the algorithm for building its associated system of ODEs. Finally, we give a few example usages where we examine a range of growth-decay models in the context of reaction networks.
