Variation of S. Henderson's n-Body Simulation
Version 1.0.1 (4.47 KB) by
RaB
Added some features for Silas Hendersons n-body simulation. Please refer to link at bottom of Description
Took the liberty to add some fun features to the nbody function to make it more "cosmic".
Added features
- optional rotation with adjustable distance exponent (i.e. 1/r^k)
- optional central massive object
- optional collision - inelastic
- zoom - allows to go to center where the "action" is or to zoom out to find bodies that have been flung out far
- color per body's mass, or let's say "star class"
- option to make all bodies same massOriginal by Silas Henderson (2021). N-body animation
