A custom planetary system simulation.
Planetbox is a simple, custom planetary system simulation. It can simulate a whole planetary system and single planets and it's moons. Planetbox allows you to add your own planets to the simulation, lets you name them and checks if the parameters are correct for the chosen type of a planet.
GUI Simulation is purely demonstrative, accurate equations and calculations are available in a 'Statistics.txt' file after pressing 'S' in a simulation window.
