Gravity Simulator

5 Nov 2016

This program is designed to simulate planets/particles in two dimensional space. It's written in C using OpenGL and SDL.

The goal of this project was to recreate my original Gravity
Simulator in C. With C being much closer to the hardware, better performance will be achieved.

Requirements

Make sure you have sdl2, make, and gcc installed on your computer.

Installation

git clone https://github.com/logiclogue/gravity-simulator
cd gravity-simulator
make

The program will begin compiling. Once compilation has finished, the binary will be in the build/ folder. In order to run the program, type ./build/main. Assuming you're on a Unix machine. It's only been tested on Arch Linux. Modification of the SDL and OpenGL header paths may be required to execute on other systems.

The program currently doesn't have much functionality. To change the initial locations of the planets, you'll have to edit src/main.c and recompile.
