  • mercury

    N-body fortran integrator (by smirik)

  • MERCURY is a classic N body integrator

  • SFML

    Simple and Fast Multimedia Library

  • It depends what you want to do. If you just want to write a "toy" simulation from scratch for learning purposes, then you don't really need any libraries, except maybe something to visualise/animate the simulation output. For C++, if you don't mind being limited to 2D SFML is very easy to get started with.

  • 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.
