Galaxy Simulation

A physics-based simulation of a galaxy with interactive controls and adjustable parameters.

Features

• Tunable parameters:

  • Gravitational constant
  • Central mass
  • Number of bodies per layer
  • Density per layer
  • Initial velocity
  • Epsilon (ε): minimum distance for gravitational calculation
  • Delta t (Δt): simulation time step

• Visual mass spectrum:

  • Blue = largest mass
  • Red = smallest mass

• Real-time interaction:

  • Start, pause, and restart
  • Add/remove bodies during simulation
  • Adjust density and return to settings

Purpose

This simulation illustrates the gravitational behavior of celestial systems, offering insight into orbital mechanics and mass distribution in galactic structures.
