Planet size and collision threshold #17

Sometimes, two planets are so close that the two circles intersect (in the processing GUI). Sometimes, the mass difference is so big that a planet is completely hidden behind a big sun. This is evil. I cannot really think of a good solution yet.

Another remark : Currently, the distance threshold under which two planets fuse is not a function of planet size. This behaviour sometimes gives false (graphic) impressions.

Investigations finally lead to the simplest and most frustrating solution : Learn do deal with it !
