Simulated three-body system

Three massive bodies, one unstable dance.

Orbital trails, field rings, vectors, depth, and the barycenter stay visible as gravity, mass, size, launch velocity, and z-axis motion reshape the system.

Change the forces, then watch the orbit answer.

Mass and gravity alter the acceleration model. Size changes the rendered star radius and close-pass softening. Depth and depth velocity move each body through 3D space before it is projected back onto the screen.
