Python-Orbit-Sim

A 2D physics sim for orbits. Made using pygame and tkinter. High degree of intractability, allowing you to create celestial bodies of a custom mass and velocity within the simulation, select what specifically is displayed, and move the camera. High degree of accuracy in simulation, without sacrificing useablity. Using vectors and numpy for simulation math.

Setup

You need to have Python 3, Tkinter, and Pygame installed.

Windows:

git clone git@github.com:EventHorizon150/Python-Orbit-Sim.git
cd Python-Orbit-Sim
pip install -r requirements.txt

Linux:

git clone git@github.com:EventHorizon150/Python-Orbit-Sim.git
cd Python-Orbit-Sim
pip3 install -r requirements.txt

To run

Run Gravity.py to start.

Windows:

python gravity.py

Linux:

python3 gravity.py
