This is an N-body physics simulation that models how our solar system might have evolved differently.

How it Works:

• Gravity Engine: Every body is constantly pulling on every other body, creating dynamic, chaotic orbits.
• The Snow Line: Asteroids outside the Sun's "snow line" start as icy; those inside start as rocky.
• Visual Scaling: For clarity, the on-screen sizes of the planets are exaggerated. The simulation's physics are driven by their actual mass (e.g., Sun: 1000, Jupiter: 318), not their visual size.

Architect the System:

• Planet Toggles: Use checkboxes to add or remove planets and see how the system's stability changes.
• Asteroid Slider: Control the number of asteroids to balance performance and detail.
• Jupiter's Orbit & Heat: Adjust Jupiter's starting position and activate its "heat bubble" to see how it shapes the system.

Design your own solar system and run experiments to see what happens!
