Hi all,

I came across some n-body code in a textbook which calculates the
interaction between a target galaxy, blue centre with red 'stars', and a
closely passing intruder galaxy, green centre (with stars coming in version
2...)
I coded the thing into pov sdl and here's one of the nicer examples...the
formation of spiral arms etc.
The time scale for this anim is 3.2 billion years

thanks
jim
