Now, switch to the Multiple Atoms tab at the top of the screen.  Play the simulation.  (It may start automatically.)  This version is a little more realistic because many electrons are interacting with many atoms.  As you can see a variety of different colors of photons will be emitted in this situation.  To watch a spectrum build up, click the spectroscope option in the lower right of the screen.  The default gas is hydrogen.  Try at least one other gas.  Record the similarities and difference between that gas and hydrogen.
