Gravity Sandbox
« on: May 03, 2016, 08:16:51 pm »
Hi! I am a first year engineering student. In our programming class we had to use SFML. I really liked it, so I made my first bigger programming project using it. It's a gravity sandbox.

Features:

 - Object types
 - Collisions
 - Roche limit
 - System generation
 - Life

I have exams now, so I wont be able to work on it for a month or so.

When I come back I want to implement a GUI with SFGUI. Does anyone have any experience with it?



If you have any questions about the program just ask!

If you're interested in following the project i recommend subscribing to my youtube channel, I post update videos detailing each update I release :)

Very cool! Are you using N-body simulation?

Also are you by chance a ksp fan? :P

At the moment I am using brute force Eulers. So it's n-body. But I am looking into upgrading to improved Euler or leapfrog.

Yeah, I've played way too much KSP.

Oh boy, I love things like this, just downloaded it. It's probably going to distract me for a couple hours, haha, great project, thanks for sharing.

FYI: Windows defender claims this is a virus. You might want to look into that.

No problem for me with Windows Defender, unless you're talking about a different file - which file are talking about?

Ah, I apologize, the executable was the file giving me problems. I didn't scan it, defender just said there was a problem and refused to allow me to open it.

Looks pretty! :)
Some nice improvements but where did the life simulation go?

Very nice.
the gui must be improve , and why you dont use existing gui like sfgui or tgui ? both lib are easy to integrate.

It's still there! Not much has changed with it. I just didn't show any of it in this video. For the v1.0 release I will make a final trailer showing of all the features. :)

In my newest version I am using TGUI as a GUI. It is still super utilitarian though. I am no designer :P

Good news. Glad you didn't scrap that!

You can embed the YouTube videos by simply removing the "s" in "https" ;)
