Simulator Guide
Master the relativistic gravity engine. Explore how to control time, spawn celestial bodies, and shape the cosmos in real-time.
Temporal Flow
Time Control
Bend the flow of time to your will. The simulator allows you to observe celestial mechanics across millennia in mere seconds, or freeze reality entirely to analyze gravitational wells.
- Play & Pause: Temporarily halt physics calculations.
- Reset: Instantly clear the universe and start fresh.
- Speed Slider: Logarithmic scale to fast-forward from x0.01 up to x1000 temporal speed.
Quick Start
System Presets
Don't want to build from scratch? Instantly load complex, balanced gravitational scenarios to observe specific relativistic phenomena.
- 3-Bodied Star System: A chaotic trinary arrangement.
- Binary Stars: Two massive bodies locked in a stable orbital dance.
- Black Hole: A supermassive singularity pulling orbiting stars.
Management
Active Bodies
Monitor the cosmos in real-time. The Active Bodies panel tracks every entity in the simulation, providing live telemetry on its position and mass.
- Live Telemetry: See exact spatial coordinates of every body.
- Quick Deletion: Instantly remove bodies from existence if they disrupt your orbital mechanics.
- Selection: Highlight specific bodies to identify them in the 3D viewport.
Creation
Add Body Configurator
The ultimate sandbox tool. Spawn completely custom celestial bodies by defining their exact mass, spatial position, and directional velocity.
- Mass Definition: Choose between Solar Masses (M☉) or Kilograms.
- 3D Coordinates: Place bodies exactly where you want using X, Y, Z axes.
- Auto Orbit: Keep this toggled ON to let the engine automatically calculate the perfect circular orbital velocity relative to the central mass!
