elm-newtonian

Finally, a solar system animation in your browser! Every planet movement is calculated using Newtonian gravity equation.

This application is simple, meant to be an ideal case study if you want to start learning elm.

Getting started

If elm hasn't been installed in your system, install it here

Afterwards, type this on your terminal:

$ git clone https://github.com/arinal/elm-newtonian.git
$ cd elm-newtonian
$ elm-reactor
elm-reactor 0.18.0
Listening on http://localhost:8000

Browse to http://localhost:8000/Main.elm and witness a realtime calculation of the greatest fundamental nature law ever invented in classical physics!

The planets don't have a nice fixed orbital track, you're free to edit their locations and initial velocities. Take a look at init inside Main.elm and play around with each planet's initial parameters (mass, velocity, position, etc).
