physics-sim

Experimental simulation of physics bodies interacting with each other. This repo is very much a work in progress.

A few simulations

20 random earth-sized body positions

A short example of using physics-sim to simulate 20 Earth-sized bodies at random positions pulling on each other by gravity. Blender is used as rendering engine in this case.

Earth orbiting the Sun

A short example of using physics-sim to simulate Earths orbit around the Sun with Blender as rendering engine. The white line is a motion tracker of Blender which is enabled to make it visually more clear.

Issues to address

• No collision detection, therefore bodies can overlap each other (and leads to bodies pulling more gravitational force than usual)
• Blender's bpy library is very slow by appending frames, searching for alternatives
• Storage is implemented, but not yet being used for rendering
• Rotational and fluid related physics are not yet implemented
• Components are not yet using meshes, so everything is a sphere
• Python is not optimal for performance, but convenient for rapid prototyping
