- Since your reading this, you've probably already run GDraw progarm and
- said to yourself "It's pretty, but what the heck is it?" Well, it started
- out as an attempt to model to isolated gravitational bodies in space and
- grew from there. GDraw can model several bodies, plot the center of mass
- (the point that all the bodies are attracted to), attempt to calculate
- a stable orbit for the bodies (rounding error cause quick decay), and,
- most impressive of all, it runs under MultiFinder without committing
- suicide!
- GDraw is virtually fool proof, but accidents do happen. If the bodies
- ever jump off the screen completely, just hit Cmd-R to get new random
- paths.
- So go try it out, have a good time. The only really impressive feature
- is the speed of the program. I cut a lot of corners and hacked tons of
- assembly just to achive passable speed on a Mac+.
