A science project

I would like to combine 2 of my current interests:
learning the C# language and cosmology.

The program I have in mind would examine the creation of
a star from a cloud of hydrogen gas. In other words,
this would be a first generation star when only hydrogen,
helium and trace amounts of lithium were present in the
universe.
The initial phase would work quite slowly as gravity
gathers the hydrogen atoms together and starts pulling
them towards a center.
The middle phase would introduce heat and pressure and
fission ignition.
The thrid phase would examine the creation of the heavier
elements in the maturing star.
Graphics would be a nice addition to this project.

This program has no doubt already been done, probably in
fortran, probably by a scientist.
What I would need therefore is just someone pointing me
in the direction of the appropriate documentation,
hopefully readable by a non-scientist.
