===========

a little orbit simulation game written in python using kivy

Key Features

- It currently uses an RK4 (Runge Kutta Fourth Order) integrator for the orbital motion.

- It works on android using the kivy app.

- Orbit Path calculation is in a seperate thread, improving framerate performance... I hope

Example Output
