2D Gravity Simulator

Something I find very interesting is the simulation of physics, and watch natural phenomenons appear. Gravity is one of these things, and this projects implements a simulation of the gravitational pull between objects in space.

You can clone the project from my GitHub.

Runge Kutta 4

As the gravitational force in this context is a continuously changing value, implementing a simulation that increments at some timestep is not straight forward. I therefore finally got to use some of the math i learned at uni. Runge Kutta 4 is such an algorithm to approximate such changing forces over time, and with this implemented, the simulation was much more stable. Thank you Matte 4.
