Orbital Sandbox

Real N-body gravity you can play with — drag to launch a body, watch orbits form, decay, slingshot and escape.

Orbital sandbox

Real N-body gravity: pick a system or build your own — drag on the canvas to launch a body with a velocity, then watch orbits form, decay, slingshot and escape

Leapfrog integration with softened gravity, so close encounters do not explode and energy drifts slowly rather than wildly — the drift is shown live so you can see how honest the numbers are. Units are illustrative, not SI.
