Universe Sandbox

Post by Andrew_Fireborn »

Right, ran a search... You'd be surprised how often universe comes up on this forum... Well okay, maybe not.

To the point: This was found on another forum I got to occasionally.

I figured the folks here would at least find the concept interesting. I've not yet finished DLing it myself.

I take it you have stairs in your house.

This is a fun little thing, especially when you alter gravity down and then back up a little. At higher time steps it bugs out a bit though.

It's pretty fun as an experiment or way to demonstrate universal phenomena to people who can't understand even high school-level shit, but I wish there was a better system for destruction of stars, instead of just bright flashes and white particles from collisions.

For some reason, one asteroid near-collision scenario (can't remember the name for the life of me, but it's supposed to happen in 2029 and starts with an "A") causes the screen to shake, even at the lowest possible speed.
