i finally eliminated the explode glitch where the object loses all momentum and freezes so i made this :D
Roche Limit Demonstration

oh i should've turned off the elasticity but oh welp!

That's awesome.

And we'll be fixing the issues that made this so hard in the future.

It would be even cooler if the objects actually broke up. :)

i see what you mean.
Even though i manually broke up the objects in this simulation. They were still together in the sense that gravity held them together....at least, for a while. If they were at normal orbit, the moon would've have stayed in that piece. However, the gravity broke it apart.So maybe, in the future, there can be an auto-explode function when an object gets into a roche limit or something else.
