Fancy physics.

Postby Nicky » Wed Aug 22, 2012 3:21 pm

I'd be interested to see an addition to the FAQ describing the physics used for the orbits, etc. F = ma, and so forth.
For fancier physics, I'm thinking of orbits around a black hole and the infalling of orbits too close, and tidal extension/contraction of the blobs, plus the idea of a Roche limit. A blob close to another blob should deform, into the classic teardrop shape (i.e. tapered) and when too close (the Roche limit), matter starts drifting off the lesser blob and falling into the larger which is also deformed but not as much.
But I've just bought a copy for me (another for a friend) and shall be chilling out for a while. Perhaps let the simpler options run unattended as a screensaver? (I have a two 24" screen system at work) I notice full cpu utilisation of one cpu, while another is occupied with the Mersenne prime calculation.
