I wanted to let everyone know that I've been hard at work on the next update (that I hope to release this week):
Here are a few of the over 30 changes and fixes coming in the next update:
Major improvements to make adding new bodies, easier, more intuitive, and error free:
- Add multiple bodies to the simulation without having to click the icon in the add panel every time.
- New ability to set the velocity of a placed body by dragging the mouse after you click to place it.
- Set the height of a body by dragging when you place a body in auto orbit mode.
And more:
- Added File Tools for easy extraction and packaging when manual editing UBOX files.
- Improved the accuracy of the calculations for the habitable zone around stars.
- Improved internal handling of dust in preparation for adding a dust saving feature in a future update.
- Universe Sandbox will no longer ask if you want to exit when you end its task from the Task Manager or if you're shutting down or restarting windows.
- Updated the 'Auto Orbit' command to use the same function as the 'Orbit Parent' code when multiple objects are selected (this makes more perfect orbits).
- Added Ambient light slider.
- Bodies can now have negative mass. Note that this may cause strange results with collisions and the orbital element values.
