My Solar System - Neatorama

This application will give you a lesson in how difficult it is to control the universe. Select how many planets you want and adjust their orbits and other parameters. Then set it in motion and watch your planets crash into each other or fly off into deep space. At least that's what happened to mine! With some practice, you might get a real system going.

Apparently my understanding of gravity needs rethinking. Took me about 10 minutes just to get two objects in stable orbit.

Sorry for the double post, but I after writing the message I realized my orbit was creating a funky design.

After trying that out- If someone feels the urge to believe in the miracle of God and His Creation, just consider the miracle of a complete and stable solar system with so much planets, moons, asteroids and comets. With that, you don't need the miracle of a Creation in 6 days no more- This is far grander...

I wrote a very similar program back in the eighties. I fiddled with that one for hours, and now I'll be messing with this for an age too.

Four objects in five minutes for me. What the hell's everyone else's problem? I've got one gas giant, Earth, and a sun-surfer. No problems.
