Welcome to the N-Body Simulation Project home page.

The project was an assignment for the course CSE 420W (Software Engineering) taught by Dr. Max I. Fomitchev.

The project simulates the gravitational effects on an arbitrary amount of bodies in a region of space over a user supplied amount of time. Output of the simulation is displayed in real-time, while keeping the ability to view a specific time step. All of the simulation data is saved for later use.

The project was developed using C, SDL, OpenGL, and MPICH2. It was designed to be cross-platform and currently works on Microsoft Windows XP and Fedora Linux.
