Info

• Requires SFML 2.5.1
• Particles are handled by using sf::VertexArray
• Using the Particle class constructor, you can pass how many particles you would like to spawn.
• Change the starting positions of particles in the Particle::SetPosition() function within Particle.cpp
• Each body acts as a gravity source. Place it in position and tweak its strength using the default constructor.

Behavior

• Particles do not apply gravitational force upon each other. The bodies also do not attract each other.
• This does not fully apply Newtons law of universal gravitation. Bodies act as a static particle attractor.
• The strength of gravitational pull is inversely proportional to the square of the distance between particle and body.
• Each particle obtains a vector that reflects the gravitational acceleration to the nearer (or stronger) body.
• Look at Particle.cpp to see the implementation.

Contributing

• This project could use better optimization, however this was more of a learning project for me. So if you would like to contribute, I will accept pull requests.
