a little orbit simulation game written in python using kivy
Key Features
- It currently uses an RK4 (Runge Kutta Fourth Order) integrator for the orbital motion.
- It works on android using the kivy app.
- Orbit Path calculation is in a seperate thread, improving framerate performance... I hope
To use the kivy application, place finger on the screen and move in the direction desired for engine vector
You will need kivy installed in order to run this application. Instructions for all platforms can be found at https://kivy.org/#download
