Orbits

Orbits was the product of a very slow night. It (sort of) simulates orbiting bodies around a central, non-stationary mass that is player-controlled.

Possible to-do's for Future Versions

• Add bound checks so central mass can not move off screen
• Add collision detection
• Allow gravity from each "orbit" to effect one another
• Write a more accurate routine so "orbits" move more naturally

Keys

F8 - Show framerate

-/+ - Decrease/increase the number of "orbits"

[Arrow Keys] - Move central mass around [There are no bound checks and moving off the screen is unsupported]

Esc - Exit program
