Orbit Runner

What is Orbit Runner?

This innovative simulation app allows users to take control of the Sun and manipulate the paths of the planets in an interactive solar system. By using the mouse, individuals can directly influence the gravitational pull of the Sun, changing the trajectories of the orbiting planets. As planets move closer to the central star, the strength of the Sun's gravity increases, affecting the motion of the celestial bodies. Interestingly, if the gravity is perpendicular to the direction of travel, the app can generate stable orbits for the planets. The primary objective is to ensure that the planets remain within the solar system and do not escape the gravitational bounds

Highlights

• Interactive control of the Sun's gravity to influence planetary orbits
• Ability to observe the effects of varying proximity on the Sun's gravitational force
• Opportunity to create stable orbital patterns by aligning gravity with planetary motion
• Simulation of a dynamic solar system with user-driven manipulations
