GravitySim

GravitySim is a cross-platform C++ application that simulates gravitational interactions between objects. It uses GLFW for window management and OpenGL for rendering.

Features

• Simulates gravitational interactions between objects
• Cross-platform support (Windows, macOS, Linux)
• Uses GLFW for window management
• Uses OpenGL for rendering

Requirements

• CMake 3.10 or higher
• A C++17 compatible compiler
• GLFW
• OpenGL

Building the Project

1. Clone the repository:

   git clone https://github.com/yourusername/GravitySim.git
   cd GravitySim

2. Install dependencies:

   • On Debian-based systems (e.g., Ubuntu, Linux Mint), install the required libraries using the following command:

   sudo apt update
   sudo apt install libglfw3 libglfw3-dev

   • On Arch-based systems (e.g., Arch Linux, Manjaro), install the required libraries using:

   sudo pacman -S glfw-x11 mesa

   • On macOS, you can install the dependencies using Homebrew. If you don't have Homebrew installed, you can install it by following the instructions here. Then, run:

   brew install glfw

3. Create a build directory and navigate into it:

   mkdir build
   cd build

4. Run CMake to generate the build files:

   cmake ..

5. Build the project:

   On Unix-like systems:

   make

   On Windows (using Visual Studio):

   cmake --build . --config Release

Running the Application

After building the project, you can run the executable:

./GravitySim

On Windows, you can run the executable from the build directory:

GravitySim.exe
