GALAXY FORMATION /SPRING 2020
Galaxy Formation App depicting a lite real-time n-body simulation of particles in a virtual universe.
Summary
Galaxy Formation is a multi-platform educational app depicting how dark matter particles in the universe clump together over billions of years to form things like stars, planets and galaxies. The app does this with a lite, real-time simulation of thousands of n-body particles that are attracted by gravitational forces that form galaxies when combined.
You can try out the live WebGL Browser version here: For better performance, you can download the native versions for each platform here:
The Galaxy Formation App is now available on the official Android and iOS App Store!
