Orbiter

A gravity simulation with visual spacetime curvature where you can drag and throw celestial bodies to observe realistic orbital mechanics and gravitational interactions.

Features

• Real-time gravitational physics simulation
• Visual spacetime grid showing gravitational warping
• Interactive drag and throw mechanics
• Adjustable gravity constant
• Infinite zoomable universe
• 3D-styled celestial bodies with shadows

Controls

• WASD: Move camera
• +/-: Zoom in/out
• Q/E: Decrease/increase gravity constant
• Mouse drag: Drag and throw bodies

Setup

Install dependencies:

npm install

Run as desktop app:

npm start

Run in web browser:

npm run web

Then open http://localhost:8000
