After a particularlly good day in programing class I decided that I wanted to write a program that draws an accurate model of our solar system. Enter this Project:

My (eventual) plans for this program are:

  • Draw all 9 planets, to scale, with appropriate tilt (pluto stil counts. no one likes the IAU) with accurate skins
  • Animate the orbit of each planet, to scale, with apppropriate tilt
  • Integrate the ability to change the speeds with respect to "normal"
  • Draw some moons.
  • Integrate a GoTo function for a specific date/time
