n-body-simulation

A simulation of gravitationally bound particles with an interactable graphical user interface.

Screenshot

LEFT MOUSE BUTTON - hold and drag the cursor around to move the camera
RIGHT MOUSE BUTTON - spawn a new particle at the location of the cursor
SCROLL WHEEL - zoom in/out on the position of the cursor
LEFT SHIFT - hold to increase camera movement and zoom speed
W A S D or ↑ ← ↓ → - move the camera using the keyboard
C - toggle tracking of center of mass (any camera movement except zooming will also disengage this mode)
G - toggle anti-aliasing (can reduce performance)
ESC - exit the application

/ - main components of the application like the viewport or input handling
/calculators/ - methods for calculating forces applying on simulation particles, currently just the O(n^2) strategy of comparing all particle pairs is implemented
/integrators/ - methods for translating calculated forces into particle movements over the timespan of the simulation, currently Euler with Leapfrog or its variants planned in the future
/models/ - objects for holding the state of various parts of the system like particles or camera
