# Project Solaris
**Project Solaris** reimagines your file explorer as an interactive, physics-based star system. Transform your boring file lists into a deep space exploration experience right inside VS Code.
## Features
### The Solar System View
Navigate your current workspace as a gravitational system.
- **Stars (Folders)**: Massive, glowing suns that anchor the system.
- **Planets (Files)**: Orbiting bodies that drift around their parent folders.
- **Physics-Based Layout**:
- **Mass**: Larger files appear as larger bodies.
- **Orbit**: Recently modified files orbit closer to the star (inner heat zone), while older files drift to the cold outer edges.
### Interactive Exploration
- **Pan & Zoom**: Use your mouse wheel to zoom (0.1x to 4x) and click-drag to pan across the cosmos.
- **Click to Open**: Click on any planet to instantly open the file in your editor.
- **Smart Tooltips**: Hover over any celestial body to see its name, type, and size.
### Deep Space Warning
Don't stray too far! The simulation is constrained by a **Deep Space Boundary**. Venturing to the edge reveals the warning systems, keeping your file system contained within observable space.
## Extension Settings
This extension currently offers a plug-and-play experience with zero configuration needed.
## Known Issues
- Very large node_modules galaxies may cause high GPU usage (but look spectacular).
- "Black hole" files (0 bytes) are rendered as tiny asteroids.
