A Simple Solar System Simulation

This code simulates the sun and the planets revolving around it in two Dimensions. For now, a simple Euler's Method is incorporated with Object-Oriented Programming for Planets and Stars.

Usage

The Simulation can be run using Python but can be accelerated using PyPy:

# Python Users
py main.py --years YEARS --dt DT # Defaults Exist, so not required

# PyPy Users
pypy main.py --years YEARS --dt DT

The data can be plotted into a GIF using the animate.py script:

py animate.py

Alternatively, the script runcode.sh can be used to automate this process.
