This is a good way. I think.

http://universesandbox.com/forum/index.php/topic,509.0.html

You can also:

1. Place stars in a disk orbiting a mass
2. Orbit All
3. Place a mass about 1/10 the size of the central black hole (this hasn't been tested) a little further than the farthest stars. This should pull them.

Or, I don't remeber if this was mentioned, but:

Place a 2D disk around something, and hit orbit all.

Hope I helped!

What is XXXX?


There are several galaxy-<name of galaxy>.jpg files in the media folder.
XXXX means 'whatever the name is'.

Does that help?

Do you mean rename in in the program, like right click and rename, or rename a photo?

We're talking about renaming the file using Windows Explorer (how you look at all the files on your hard drive). You can't rename or even see these files names inside of Universe Sandbox.

But when I save it and open it again, the grid is not there. Just the black hole.

Not yet that is! Cheesy

When / If Dan does create full saves...the possibilities will open.
