    ✨ rudimentary simulation of the three-body problem

  • blog

    My blog (by zkhr)

  • Hah, I did something similar over at https://ari.blumenthal.dev/!/-2/-1/three-body after reading the book last year.

    Source over at https://github.com/zkhr/blog/blob/main/static/js/three.js

  • InfluxDB

    Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale. Get real-time insights from all types of time series data with InfluxDB. Ingest, query, and analyze billions of data points in real-time with unbounded cardinality.

  • ThreeBodyBot

    Poorly written code that generates moderately exciting plots of a very specific physics phenomenon that enthralls dozens of us around the globe.

  • This is the source code for the popular ThreeBodyBot [0]

    It contains a numerics tutorial [1] that au found very useful for my use case.

  • Principia

    𝑛-Body and Extended Body Gravitation for Kerbal Space Program

  • Principia is extremely impressive, they document all their math here: https://github.com/mockingbirdnest/Principia/tree/master/doc...

    One interesting detail is that the source code makes extensive use of non-ASCII identifiers, for mathematical symbols and for the names of mathematicians. One of the two primary contributors is also an active contributor to Unicode

  • Astraria

    3D n-body simulator

  • A few years ago a friend and I made something similar to universe sandbox, though only with the gravitational simulation part: https://github.com/fayalalebrun/Astraria

    Surprisingly enough the jar still runs without issue. Something which probably would not be the case for linux binaries, but maybe for windows.

  • WorkOS

    The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.
