Basic Information

Gravity Simulator is an N-Body Simulator written in Java

  Each body interacts with all the others (therefore we have a complexity of O(N^2))
by the forces described in Newton's Law of Universal Gravitation!

  All bodies have random initial characteristics (position, velocity and mass)
