Solar System Sim

Solar System Sim is a program that simulates the N-body problem in three dimensions, but it uses a generalized r^p force law for any given p. The display is in perspective three-dimensions, can render pictures onto the simulated bodies in real-time, draws a star field based on actual star data, and is also capable of using cyan-red 3-D glasses for full three-dimensional visualization. The idea is to convey a sense of "being there". It also has a craft with thrusters that the user may use to attempt transfer orbits and gravity assists. The program is also accompanied by a variety of parameter files, including transfer orbits and a Voyager 2 "Grand Tour".
