N-Body Simulator
A downloadable game for Windows
This simulator was inspired by the n-body problem, an extension to the better known two and three body problems. The program does not account for relativity, and simulates celestial motion only using Newton's law of universal gravitation, a classical physics law. The non-quantitative manner of this simulator intends to bring an intuition to celestial mechanics through an interactive visual, rather than serve as a tool for prediction.
