Nbody3D Gravitational Simulator
version 2.0.001
written by Henley Quadling, 16th Feb, 1996
- This is a very early unfinished test release.
- This software is freeware; you may distribute it
freely as long as you distribute it free and unmodified.
- This software requires at least Windows NT 3.51, Intel or
Alpha. This software also runs in Windows 95 with the
appropriate Opengl dll's.
Features:
1. OpenGL 3D animation.... A future release will have
much improved openGL functionality, and more control
over the rendering.
2. Multiple threads. This software has 6 threads. The
Calculation and rendering are executed on seperate
synchronized threads, which should allow for very
efficient execution on SMP machines. I do not have
access to a SMP machine, so please tell me if there
is a problem!
3. Windows 95 common controls, Drag and drop support,
toolbars, tooltips etc.
4. Completely written in C, for compact and fast code.
Installing:
If you are using this software in Windows 95, and you do
not have the OpenGL dll's, you need to obtain them.
I have them on my nbody page:
http://mnnt1.hep.umn.edu/nbody1.htm
Running:
Try the demo files, with the 'open and run' menu item, or
drag a demo file over the main dialog window. Other than
that, you are going to have to play with it, because I
dont have time to write a manual! The status bar messages
and tooltip messages should help out.
Have fun!
