Description
This is a solar system simulator.You can spawn some particles in to the solar system and using the physics formula for force and gravity given to us by Kepler, you can can see your solar system come to life, in real time!
Watch particles merge with other particles to form planets or even being sucked in to the sun or thrown out of the solar system .In the midst of all that chaos, a calm and peaceful solar system will emerge.
What makes it even better is that this application is exquisitely brought to life using Unity3D 4.0, Physx and BrightNewWorlds.
How to Play
The default settings donāt make solar systems, part of the fun is to setup your settings in order to make a stable solar-system⦠trust me this is possible. try again, for example if the particles are falling into the sun, try lowering the weight of the sun and/or increase the speed of the max and min spawning force. Hope this helps you. maybe if you find out a good balance of setting you could post them up as a comment in order to help others out, and if you canāt find a balance personal message me and iāll give you some settings that worked for me, I wouldnāt wanna ruin the fun for others. hope this helps you out
__________________________________
āWeightā is the starting weight of the particles, weight is a factor in the obit mechanics as well as in the planet type mechanics. āforceā is the starting speed the particles are spawned at, with out enough speed the particles will be sucked into the sun and with too much speed the particles will be shot out of the solar system. āmin/Maxā is the clamp , it allows for randomness, each particle spawned will use a random value between the given min and max. :D thanks for giving SolaSim 5 a go

Gas Planets should be integrated into the next version!
how would I represent them? what would make a planet look like a gas planet?

Super cool that's the hardest thin to get right

Okay I got a question, I was thinking of adding medals , or whatever Kongregate calls them, to the game, so what do you think I should add medals for?
