A small JavaFX application that simulates charged particles attractring and repelling each other

JavaFx Application Simulating Particle Movement

A small JavaFX application created during a midterm project.

The user can spawn a variable amount of positively and negatively charged particles, which will then attract or repel one another depending on the charge . The "walls" of the application can be toggled between solid or let through. Which will either make the particles bounce of the walls or let them fly through.

Additionally a "gravitron" or attractor can be placed on the canvas which attracts all the particles in the scene. The gravitron can be moved around via drag.

Finally, the individual charge's vectors can be toggled on or off, which will show the current direction and the desired direction if attracted or repelled.
