PlanetSimulation

A planetary simulation using Pygame, complete with twinkling stars and orbiting planets

Planet Simulation 🌍🪐🌟

A simple planetary simulation using Pygame. This project simulates the motion of planets in a solar system with realistic gravity and particle effects, and includes background music for an immersive experience.

Features

• Twinkling Stars: Randomly generated stars that twinkle with varying brightness to create a dynamic cosmic background.

• Planetary Motion: Realistic simulation of planetary orbits based on gravitational forces between celestial bodies.

• Particle Effects: Planets emit particles as they move, creating visually appealing trails behind them.

• Background Music: Atmospheric music plays continuously in the background to enhance the simulation's ambiance.

• Simulate Toggle: Users can toggle the simulation of individual planets (ON/OFF) via the UI.

• Editable Planet Mass: The mass of each planet can be modified during the simulation, with real-time updates on its orbital behavior.

• Multiple Planet Selection: Easily switch between planets using keyboard controls to view and modify different celestial bodies.
