solarkit 0.1

Visualise a solar system and do cool stuff with it

solarkit - BPhO Computational challenge

A tool to easily visualise and perform calculation on a solar system. The solutions for all challenges are embed but also provides the tools to tinker around and build new, original simulations

It was built as the first part of a two part subimission for the challenge. My idea is to create a website using django to allow anyone to use the simulation. Having this package will ensure clean, backend code that will do the work in just a couple of lines.

Challenges

• Kepler's Third Law

• Visualise a solar system

• Visualise the solar system, animated

• Spinograph

• Heliocentric model

Personal aditions

• Tools to create, save & load a custom solar system

• Save the model output to an image

• Spinograph, animated
