A downloadable simulator for Windows and Linux

This is a toy particle simulator which I made for fun during the end of December 2022 and the beginning of January 2023. It simulates moving particles with collisions, gravity, electrostatic forces, and springs.

It has a reasonably nice user interface (which took the longest to implement) and allows one to manipulate the simulation in any imaginable way. It also allows one to customize the appearance of the simulation, so that you can play with colors and get some cool screenshots :)

It has a built-in manual (available via the Help>Manual menu) that goes in-depth into how the internals of the simulator work and what physical laws are used there. The File>Presets menu has a bunch of preset simulations that you can try to get an idea of what the simulator is capable of.

The source code for this simulator is completely open and available here. It is mostly reasonable, though the UI parts are a hell of a mess.

The project is mostly finished, yet there may (and will) be some bugs and crashes. If you find some, don't hesitate to report them, ideally with a save file attached so that it is easier to diagnose the problem.
