🌌 Galaxy simulation

This repository contains the source code of an n-body type simulation using GPU acceleration. It is able to simulate galaxies, galaxy collisions and expanding universes. It has a menu to change the settings and an interactive camera.

⚠️ This repository contains submodules, add --recurse-submodules when cloning ⚠️

🎥 Video

Here is a video explaining how the algorithm works : Simuler 1 000 000 de Galaxies 🌌.

✨ Features

• A menu to change the settings of the simulation

• A camera that you can control with your mouse and your wheel

• It can simulate a unique galaxy :

• It can also simulate a collision between two galaxies :

• And it can simulate an entire expanding universe :

🛠️ Install

🦴 Skeleton project install

This repository is based on my Graphics skeleton project, so go see its install part first.

📦 Additionnal dependencies

Then, you will also need the OpenCL library.

🗓️ Releases

If you just want to test the program without editing the source code, go see the Releases.

🧪 Tests

A unique galaxy

Mixing 2 different types of stars

Two galaxies colliding

Universe simulations
