Absolutely this is you like astronomy, although it's more of a simulator.

I've started learning C and C++ so I can make one of my own, though it's going to be more of a generator for systems with more functionality for the player to design their own.

I've always loved doing it on pen and paper and have the background knowledge, but a program for it would be so much more efficient.

Same Anon again. Passions don't come to you, you come to them. You have to actualize what you want for yourself, it's highly unlikely to happen on its own, I'd honestly think it's the greatest lie of the modern era that these things will just fit together themselves and your idea will just """"come to you"""". Start small, but when you're getting shit done you start going places and it starts stacking up.

>>9918895
Largely what this Anon >>9918907 said. I see an outcome in practice in real astronomy, then I'll want to know how that works and what processes are involved, and I'll attempt to replicate it myself so I can understand it.

And definitely keep notes. My room's covered in them, and I have hundreds of text files scattered across my computer system too, kek. I also keep journals, at least 500 words per night detailing and then critiquing my day.

i made the solar system in unity it's pretty shit though lol. the planets don't attract each other and orbit basically on a perfect circle but when i move the sun it's funny to see how they react. if i get better at unity im gonna remake this correctly but it was fun making it anyways

Neat
I'm not very good at programming but I like all the maths behind orbital mechanics so I made this thing in Unity where I could have any number of planets with any number of moons and I could give each body it's own specific orbit.
They're all on rails instead of actually attracting one another, n-body is heavy work yo

N-body is easy. We did N-body with hundreds of particles in the late 1950s and early 1960s in some of the first molecular dynamics simulations. Sure it took a couple days to run, but we could do it. You should try implementing an n-body simulation using velocity verlet integration. It's a great way to learn about physics simulation.

Then implement velocity verlet integration. N-body is easy and fun to write. You have a big list of particles with mass, position, and velocity, you calculate forces on them, then use verlet integration to figure out their new velocities and positions, rinse and repeat.

I'm going to make it completely scientific, and make it as detailed as humanly possible (which will likely be a sacrifice in any graphics I implement, but I figure the audience actually interested in this stuff wouldn't mind so much). As it is, things such as Space Engine have a level of detail I'd be wanting to achieve - at least, but it doesn't have the same level of user input and control I'd want to make it reusable and easy to manipulate. Creating star systems is the shit, and in program form it'll be far more efficient. I'll be generating systems in 3D cubic light-year space, which is rarely done, too.

I've been thinking of making a game out of it after, which would probably make it hit a much larger audience. I'd be happy to reuse what I'd already made for it, although I'd keep a generator/simulator and a game separate and distinct.

This is all very theoretical right now though, I'm only starting to pick up the skill I'll need. It'll be a good long-term project, though.
