Welcome to Space Simulator project
This is a simple simulator of gravity flying in the space. It operates with planets, satellites (planets of low mass) and stars (planets of big mass) The standard equation of movement is solved by Kutta-Runge method.
This software is based on Pythin3.3 and PyGame1.9.2
For starting the simulator please use command line:
python3.3 main.py -f .ini
or
python3.3 main.py -h
Some configuration files are in the root folder.
During the simulation you can use keyboard:
- q or ESC = Exit
- p or SPACE = Pause
- ARROWS = Move view
You can select one of three simulation modes: Stop on collision, crash collided bodies or combine them to bigger one. See asteroids.ini for details
There is of possibility to generate random belts of asteroids and see how planets are groing when asteroids collides.
On my G1820 processor no problem to play with about 150 planetiods at one time
Have a fun :-)
