Newton's Playground
Newton's playground allows you to create and dynamically manipulate a gravitational system.
Beautiful patterns will emerge while the gravitational fields interact; the application allows users to play with these patterns through custom touch gestures and interactions.
The calculations are based on Sverre Aarseth's n-body program, to solve the equations of motion of many-bodies moving under gravity in 3-dimensions.
Features:
✓ Accurate real-time animations of up to 50 gravitational spherical-bodies
✓ Created in openGL for a full 3D experience
✓ Camera control - Custom rotate, pan and zoom gestures.
✓ Start options - Choose from circular or random start conditions.
✓ Energy control - Add/Remove energy by shaking or tapping the iPad.
✓ Planet Manipulation - Drag, flick or enlarge selected planets
✓ Custom Image Wraps - Add your own images to the simulation.
