Spacesim

Inspiration

Space!!!

What it does

Generates and simulates our planets with our own physics implemented. Should be able to observe planets moving similar to our solar system, or modify the physics parameters for a more exciting sim!

How we built it

Utilized C++ and raylib libraries to create the GUI, generate shapes, and built-in math functions. NASA/JPL Horizons API for accurate positions and velocities of the planets.

Challenges we ran into

PHYSICSSS OWWWW. NASA API was a pain to use.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

Physics Wheee :) 3D is cool!

What we learned

A lot about the solar system and that Pluto is too small (sadge).

What's next for Spacesim

Better physics, more objects, more interactivity, and maybe pluto.
