A Simple Planet (and Star) Simulation

PlanetSimulation

A simple physics engine that shows the interaction of gravity between objects.

How to use

• w — Zoom in
• s — Zoom out
• d — Increase physics time intervals. If this gets too large, the program will become extremely inaccurate, and things will go whack.
• s — Decrease physics time intervals. This causes the objects to move slower and increases the accuracy of the simulation.

Purpose

PlanetSimulation was not created to be an astounding program, but instead a way to practice applying useful and effective design principiles and patterns to Java code.
