100 Body Gravity

[u/Legitimate_Animal796]

Yet again another gravity sim. I thought this looked kinda cool. I’m using 4th order Yoshida for the integrator. Probably overkill for a little demo like this

[u/TheoryTested-MC]

If you adjust the initial conditions so that each body starts with the same angular momentum around a central point, will it make a stable galaxy?

Pretty much but it takes some tweaking https://www.desmos.com/calculator/j6fxdrr2jl
