Release v1.0 - "Gravity Simulation Update"
Overview
Release v1.0 introduces the initial version of the Box2D-Gravity project, a 2D simulation demonstrating Newton's law of universal gravitation. This release marks the foundational implementation of gravitational forces between dynamic bodies within a Box2D physics environment.
Key Updates
- Basic Gravitational Simulation: Implementation of Newton's law of universal gravitation to simulate gravitational forces between dynamic bodies.
- Visualization Enhancements: Added visual representation for bodies and their interactions within the simulation.
- Debug Mode: Incorporated a debug mode for easy observation and analysis of the simulation's behavior.
Example
Caption: Example of the Box2D Gravity Simulation in action.
Usage
- F1: Activate / Deactivate debug mode
- 1: Spawn planet on mouse position
- 2: Spawn crate (debug purposes)
- 3: Spawn chain (debug purposes)
- Left Click: Drag bodies (only if debug mode is ON)
Contributions
We extend our gratitude to all contributors who have contributed to this release by providing valuable feedback, suggestions, and improvements.
