gravity-lab

Gravity laboratory.

A toy to play with gravity.

The orbits are rendered using Euler's integration, and pre-orbit rendering (while placing body) is calculated by Verlet's integration.

Features

• Create objects and set position and velocity using mouse.
• Modify mass, velocity vector (x and y components), position, diameter and color for each body.
• Two presets with Sun and Earth parameters.
• Modify G.
• Set scale, velocity scale, grid and time scale.
• Create bodies providing mass, velocity and position parameters.
• Pre-draw orbits while placing the body.
• Trace orbits.
• Infinite universe.
• Change body values in real time.
• Body's gravity enable/disable.
