Simulation idea
« on: October 23, 2014, 09:16:04 PM »
Hey do you think it would be cool to have a coded and scripted simulation of the earth from 4.5 billion years ago to today? It would give people an idea of what the earth looked like during the course of its birth to now. SOund like a great idea?

Cool idea ! But I think the simulation should be from 5.5 Billions year ago to 5.5 Billions years in the future.

How would this work exactly?

Uhh, i honestly dont know, but a start would be an acurite early earth and an acurite thea, and have them crash together and acully form the moon

For any of this to work, I think Giant Army would have to do so many calculations and set so many parameters that something like this just isn't practical

Good question.

You should add the words... "I think that...". Please be careful about shooting down the ideas of others.
Was making Universe Sandbox ² practical? No. But we did it anyway.

Hey do you think it would be cool to have a coded and scripted simulation of the earth from 4.5 billion years ago to today?

It is a good idea... perhaps a series of simulations each showing a snapshot in time over that time period.

Quite right. But a LOT and I mean a LOT of coding, scripting, texturing and modelling would have to be done for a simulation like that.
