Gravitor

What Is This Thing

This is a particle engine. Think of the white circles as small objects with a small mass and the blue circles as fixed position black holes that have A LOT of mass. The small circles are called balls and the larger ones are gravitors. The gravitors make a vector field that interact with the balls and accelerate them all over the place. Hella cool.

What Things Does This Thing Do

Click once on the canvas to create a gravitor. Single click a gravitor to make it larger and double click to delete it.

How Does It Work

CreateJS handles the html canvas related duties and redrawing objects. The physics is handled by an array that creates a grid over top of the canvas, but exists only in the code. It is essentially the output of a vector function and maps out where all the forces are.

What We Were Aiming For

I found this on code pen (http://codepen.io/akm2/full/rHIsa) and wasted nearly two hours just messing around. I wanted to attempt to make something similar.
