Simulates planet gravitation with graphics and user interface
Usage:
- Move to mass selector on the top-left corner to choose the planet mass
- Drag the mouse on the canvas (the black background) to add a planet
- The dragging direction and length determines the initial speed and direction of the new planet
- Check "apply walls" to lock the planets inside a box-like room and see what happens!
Comments:
- This simulator does not model collisions, and behaviour may seem odd in cases of perceived collision
- The planets are modelled as gravitational objects with a zero radius
- Force calculation does not occur at zero distance to avoid division by zero and/or extremely large forces
