Symmetrical galaxy collisions?
« on: November 23, 2009, 02:49:16 PM »
Have you seen a type of collision? Used in Klemperer's Dream.
A picture of 5-symmetrical galaxy collision.

Simple but cool. Not being sarcastic. I am serious!

Really nice job you did ;D
Also, that reminds me.
Dan, I suggest that in the next version, when you add galaxies, you get an option on which angle to put the galaxy at. Whenever there is collisions, it's always head on, not side swipe.
Look at the angle properties on this program to see what I mean.

The galcrash galaxy collision has only 2 galaxies. but how to do have 3, 4, 5 galaxies.

There should be vectors, then you can easily do what you want with it.

Arata, the galaxy colliding link you posted, I discovered it first!

I'll think about how that might work in the next version. Worst case you will be able to use the rotate tool and rotate them to any angle you like (those that signed up for the beta can do this now).

There should be vectors, then you can easily do what you want with it.

There will be. No worries. :)

Can you add systems like 3-symmetrical galaxy collision, 4-symmetrical galaxy collision and 5-symmetrical galaxy collision.

Well made monmarfori. :)
It would be interesting to see how they would look after they merge, if they don't have too high speed. :)

But Dan says it would be after Sandbox 2.

Newer one. Same as that picture as this in four evolutions.

How do you make these collisions??
