ORBIT / LAB 01

Newtonian playground / Live system

ORBIT

Small gestures. Gravitational consequences.
Place a body, pull to set its velocity, and release. Every path is calculated live. Nothing here is pre-rendered.

Your browser needs canvas support to display the gravity simulation.
Live simulation
DRAG TO LAUNCH / RELEASE TO SET VELOCITY

METHOD / Fixed 1/120 second timestep with mutual body gravity, a central star, softening, and momentum-conserving collisions.

LIMITS / 24 bodies maximum. Rendering resolution is capped for a smooth field.
