I just added that option. It wasn’t there when you initially looked :). Are you using one of the 3D presets/random config or are you using a 2D preset? I'll order a set of glasses …

I do not currently have a set of those glasses so I can't test it, but three.js has this and it's pretty easy to add. There should be an "Anaglyph 3D" checkbox at the bottom of the…

Yeah, I used Claude Code, definitely started as a vibe-coded thing. First pass was just basic physics + Three.js rendering. But once I saw it working, I spent some more time on bet…

This is cool thanks for sharing. I hadn't seen this.

Yes, the softening factor keeps the forces from getting too big when bodies get close together. Better for the visualization but not very accurate to leave it in.

I'm using https://threejs.org/docs/#Line2 which does support variable thickness - you can change this via the Trail Thickness slider. I think older versions did have some issues wi…

This should be fixed!

It might be fun to add some kind of visualization showing when a body has enough energy to potentially escape the system.

Thank you! Your 2D version is great, I love seeing how different people approach this stuff. As for integrators, I currently only have Velocity Verlet and RK4 (can change in the ad…

The link points to one of the stable solutions, and there are actually quite a few of those. The problem is that there’s no general closed form that tells us exactly where the bodi…

Thanks so much, really appreciate it! I’ve been focusing the presets on stable or interesting solutions that aren’t tied to real systems, but adding a few real examples like Alpha …

Thanks! The Three-Body series definitely helped spark the idea, and the URL is a little nod to the books. I also took some simulation classes back in college, so the math and physi…

Features include: - Several preset periodic orbits: the classic Figure-8, plus newly discovered 3D solutions from Li and Liao's recent database of 10,000+ orbits (https://arxiv.org…
