Nice work!
Were you by any chance inspired to make this because of the three body series by Cixin Liu? Or were you moreso just inspired because the simulation/math/physics are interesting?
- notaurus 11mo agoI think the URL is telling
- authnopuz 11mo agoNightfall by Asimov was a 7 bodies problem - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nightfall_(Asimov_novelette_and_novel) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nightfall_(Asimov_novelette_an...
- authnopuz 11mo agoAnd to be fair, Liu Cixin's book is a 4 bodies problem :)
- Cthulhu_ 11mo agoThis made me irrationally annoyed, lol. But that was only the start (I've only seen the TV show though)
- adastra22 11mo agoSeriously there was so much wrong with that book.
- hermitcrab 11mo agoThere was a lot right with it as well IMHO. It was very original (I've only read the first book so far).
- adastra22 11mo agoTo each their own, I suppose.
- jgchaos 11mo agoThanks! The Three-Body series definitely helped spark the idea, and the URL is a little nod to the books. I also took some simulation classes back in college, so the math and physics side pulled me in too. It’s crossed my mind that it could be fun to add a kind of Trisolaran mode that tracks a small planet and how habitable its position is throughout the orbits.
- allemagne 11mo agoIt was nice of you to add that stable era to the submission URL. It was good while it lasted. Oh well, Time to DEHYDRATE
