## Overview

**Axinite** is an engine for calculating celestial motion. 

You can use it to design your own solar systems, predict trajectories of rockets, simulate gravitational interactions and more.

Check out the docs [here](https://jewels86.gitbook.io/axinite/axinite/getting-started).

### What is `axtools`?

`axtools` is a library to help abstract and simplify Axinite. With `axtools`, Developers can deploy Axinite powered applications with ease. 

You can find the docs [here](https://jewels86.gitbook.io/axinite/axtools/quickstart).

## How can I use Axinite?

For developers looking to deploy Axinite-powered applications, check out [the Python package](https://pypi.org/project/axinite/).

For students, engineers, physicists, and anyone else in the field of astrophysics who want to simulate gravitational interactions, you can check out the [command line interface](https://github.com/jewels86/axcli).

## Todos

- Graceful load funciton exiting

- Fix weird euler loading error where first positions are always the origin

- Add Velocity Verlet backend

- Add RK4 backend

- Reduce data saving time by not converting every part of the array?
