Originally I built the engine to use classical physics for the motion of the bodies, however, once I added asteroids this became computationally intractable, so, I switched to a simple rigid rotation scheme. In time I would like to solve the physics problem by using CUDA to carryout the physics calculations. Example images are located in the ExampleImages folder. December 2014.
