Nice anim. For a really nice effect, try making the surface transperent, keep
the grid (maybe even make it a little finer), and place a starfield in the
background. Have you tried a square grid?

then played with hundreds (thousands) of values for the gravitational constant
and tweaks to the starting velocity.

The problem is that instead of calculating the force every "infitesimal"
second, I'd set it up to do say every 10 weeks, 10 days, 10 hours, 10 secs or

model that system by only applying the force at every *HUNDREDTH SECOND*
instead of CONSTANTLY, then the direction of the force isn't going to be

seeing how well Jupiter protects it.


But I'm intrigued that there could be some kind of "field effect" solution that

    I tried the square grid and didn't like it, but I should try the
transparent thing, it sounds like it would be cool.

    Tried it and didn't like it either. The other edges of the iso shows up.
