A command-line based 3-body problem visualiser, simulator, and renderer, with live terminal-visual modes, png-render output, or infinite brute-force configuration finder functions. Highly customisable; every aspect from masses, gravity, positions and velocities, simulation time steps, etc. can be customised with extensive CLI flags. Great as a screen saver, or for accurate (rk4) renders of three bodies. Enjoy :D
Uploaded to Pypi! You can now use with pip install trisolaris.
Camera optimisations (more advanced smoothing and stricter body-within-frame regulation), plus more presets :D
Added colour averaging (direct average without squares or roots; seems to look more convincing!), presets (figure 8 and ephemeral twirls for now), along with other minor changes. Screenshot shows colour averaging; green and blue overlap become a more greyish colour.
Added artificial damping (unrealistic but more pretty for live rendering) for TUI live mode, along with other QoL improvements and optimisations
Updated visuals, and optimised variuos aspects (e.g. trail logic, anti-singularity, etc.) while adding more cli flags for customisation (e.g. trail length). Experimented and found a few presets for cool behaviour (more intertwined path, not instantly ejecting out into infinity). Planning to add a systematic –preset flag soon!
Infinite TUI mode! Implemented a continuous, live simulation, not unlike a terminal-based screensaver. (Forgot to update devlogs; this took much longer than 36 minutes)
Added infinite automatic config finder with judging mechanism, to brute-force try configurations and categorise them into interesting (e.g. butterly, figure-8), uninteresting (straying off into infinity), or unsure (complex patterns for human review)
