This project simulates the behavior, dynamics, and motion of a group of celestial objects.
Given N point masses in a three-dimensional space, its present positions and velocities, and supposing that the force of attraction experienced between each pair of particles is Newtonian, the project approximately predicts it's positions and velocities at a future moment of time.
The project can visualize the simulation, and create a graphic real-time output using FreeGLUT, and also have an option for textual output and archiving.
Bugale N-Body Data Editor provides a graphic user interface for creating and editing the settings and body data files of Bugale N-Body Simulator. It can be found here:
