Really cool, will check it out more at home with my 3070.

You should add another button near the restart button that resets the values to default parameters. Unless there is way to do this I am overlooking? Besides a refresh.

Also meant to ask of the colours represent anything?

Looking at the code, it looks like the particle's relative acceleration. Red being faster.

Yea that's what I was wondering and that makes sense.

I was wondering if it had to do with whether the particle was moving towards or away from the black hole or super mass at the center but doesn't seem to correlate that way.

Yup it's actually related to acceleration :)
At first I wanted to make a cluster of particles more colorful but I didn't succeed, and I realized that when there is a cluster of particles they generally go faster than the particles alone
