# 🎥 Video

Here is a video explaining how the algorithm works : [**Simuler 1 000 000 de Galaxies 🌌**](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dFqjqRUWCus).




# ✨ Features

* A menu to change the settings of the simulation

* A camera that you can control with your mouse and your wheel

* It can simulate a unique galaxy :



	



* It can also simulate a collision between two galaxies :



	



* And it can simulate an entire expanding universe :



	






# 🛠️ Install

## 🦴 Skeleton project install

This repository is based on my [**Graphics skeleton project**](https://github.com/angeluriot/Graphics_skeleton), so go see its [**install**](https://github.com/angeluriot/Graphics_skeleton#install) part first.




## 📦 Additionnal dependencies

Then, you will also need the [**OpenCL**](https://www.khronos.org/opencl/) library.




# 🗓️ Releases

If you just want to test the program without editing the source code, go see the [**Releases**](https://github.com/angeluriot/Galaxy_simulation/releases).




# 🧪 Tests

### A unique galaxy



	





	






### Mixing 2 different types of stars



	





	





	






### Two galaxies colliding



	





	





	






### Universe simulations
