# Simulation of two interacting galaxies
This is a simulation of two interacting galaxies, written in HTML, CSS and JavaScript:
[https://evgenii.com/blog/two-galaxies/](https://evgenii.com/blog/two-galaxies/)
## Run the simulation locally
To run the simulation on your computer, first download this repository (Git needs to be installed):
```
git clone https://github.com/evgenyneu/two_galaxies.git
```
Then change into the `two_galaxies` directory:
```
cd two_galaxies
```
Next, start a web server. You can use any web server to run the web site locally. Bellow are examples of using Python and Node.js:
### Option 1: run a Python web server
Install Python and then run
```
python -m http.server
```
View the simulation in a web browser at [http://0.0.0.0:8000](http://0.0.0.0:8000).
### Option 2: run a Node.js web server
Install the server
```
npm install http-server -g
```
Run:
```
http-server
```
View the simulation in a web browser at [http://127.0.0.1:8080](http://127.0.0.1:8080).
## Running unit tests
Open `/test` URL path to run the JavaScript unit tests. For example, if you used the Python web server, open [http://0.0.0.0:8000/test](http://0.0.0.0:8000/test)
