Yet another gravitational physics simulator
Cavendish is a gravitational physics simulator written wholly in Python with the aid of pygame and tkinter. It was developed in under a week as a proof of concept for my physics class, and it shall be regarded as such.
Its name comes from my far better-renowned namesake Sir Henry Cavendish, the first measurer of $G$—the universal gravitational constant—, a magnitude profoundly intertwined with the formulae of this program.
Running the simulation
In order to execute this program, you have two different options at your disposal. You can either download the pre-compiled Windows binaries from the "Releases" section, or whether not suitable, utilize the main.py script. A third possible alternative is to compile your own build of the project, yet it is not necessary by any means.
Nonetheless, further instructions on the latter two procedures will be developed below.
Executing main.py
The main.py script contains the launcher of the simulation, so executing it is the recommended way to proceed.
Firstly, ensure pygame is installed on your system by running
bash
pip install pygame
Finally, run main.py with Python (no command line arguments are accepted):
python ./main.py
Compiling with pyinstaller
This method demands an additional dependency, namely pyinstaller, which can be obtained likewise via pip:
bash
pip install pyinstaller
The Makefile will be in charge of all the magic, so one only needs to invoke it:
bash
make
Your fresh, newly-compiled binaries will be available at dist/cavendish.
