TUI Simulation of orbits in C using ncurses.

Overview

This app uses ncurses to render planet, moons or even star orbits around a center point. The orbits are not 100% accurate, and are modified to look better on terminals.

Installation

Requirements: ncurses

git clone https://github.com/fosterchild1/corbit.git
cd corbit
make install

Usage

Simply run corbit to use it. There are also a couple of options you can add:

Usage: corbit [OPTIONS]...
CLI arguments:
-t --time [TIME]       advance TIME step each tick
-s --system [SYSTEM]   system to simulate
Available systems: sol,jov,sat,ura,nep,plu,ker

For example, to simulate jupiter and it's moons, run corbit -s jov.
The app also has built-in keybinds shown at the bottom of the screen that allows you to toy around with the simulation. You can hide them by pressing F1.
You can make your own systems by configuring the config file inside ~/.config/corbit.
