Orbital Mechanics Simulator
A downloadable simulation
This project serves as a simple (yet accurate... to a degree) orbital mechanics simulator, which I developed as part of my GAM340 module during my time at Falmouth University. I've since continued development on the project throughout my free time and throughout the duration of my Masters course. This Includes Modules: IGO710 & IGO720.
Whilst it's not finished, it features many of the original features that I wanted when I set out my Statement of Intent when the project began. So, to that extent please keep in mind that the project is unfinished, and may never get finished regardless of my own personal plans for it (which are to keep working on it)
NOTE: This feature list is out of date, please see the Trello as v1.2.0 will add many features and fix old issues. The Devlogs feature sneak-peaks and in-progress reports so be sure to check those out for the most bleeding edge information on development!
Features:
- Simulated Newtonian Gravity, which allows for complex orbits.
- An in-depth statistics window that shows the state of the simulation at any point in time
- Simulation tools for editing, adding, moving, and deleting the various celestial bodies and objects in the simulation.
- Orbit previews and a "live update" mode that will attempt to calculate the orbits as the planets move (WIP)
Known Bugs/Issues:
- See the issue tracker, here
For a more in-depth look at the development, find the Trello board here
For planned features, it's best to look at the Trello page as that will be the most up-to-date place.
Thanks for playing! Please feel free to give me some feedback or if you find a bug I'd appreciate you leaving a comment letting me know how to reproduce it :)
