Star Wars (a gravity simulation game)
« on: May 09, 2016, 09:09:03 PM »
ha ha ha ha get it cause there's stars, and it's a competitive game

In this game, you will "play" a red dwarf in a three star system (each star has a mass of 1 solar mass). Anyone who wishes to play will be a red dwarf with 0.1 solar masses. You will be able to pick your initial location and initial velocity. As a red dwarf, you will tug at the three larger stars as well as other players. Your goal is to be the last star standing within the system of the three larger stars. In the event that multiple red dwarfs are still "standing", such as in a stable orbit around two stars that will not be gravitationally interacting, then you will pick a new set of initial conditions (not within .05 units of your previous starting location) and face off in a deathmatch of sorts.

To aid you in your strategery, here are the three stars' initial conditions:

x-position: 0
y-position: 1
mass: 1
x-velocity: -.2
y-velocity: -.65
color: red

x-position: .7
y-position: 1
mass: 1
x-velocity: -.2
y-velocity: .95
color: darkorange

x-position: -2
y-position: -1.5
mass: 1
x-velocity: .4
y-velocity: -.3
color: gold

Here is a plot of their orbits for two periods:



To join, you should send me via pm or irc or skype, somewhere private, your initial conditions as follows:

x-position:
y-position:
x-velocity:
y-velocity:
color:

i suppose not but can't imagine any good would come out of posting it publicly
