"So for a brief moment I forgot to divide the gravity variable by the distance squared, which resulted in a rather pretty (and hypnotizing to watch) effect.

Anyone know what this thing is called btw? I kind of feel there's a name but I forgot it."

Yes the lines are drawn by the path the planet takes.

Are the lines drawn by the planet's path of orbit?

Actually, don't bother with gravity squared. IRL the distances are SOOOOOO big that most of the time planets actually just experience constant gravity.

@EpicTheHeroic , I just wanted a normal orbit, I was bored so I decided to program a little orbit simulator. It's not really a proper sim, just a very simple one. But I initially made a little error with this simple technique which resulted it this mesh shape. Technically this effect is possible with proper gravity, though I only managed to create it with a bit of cheating.

What were you aiming the program to do?

It's called "beautiful" x)
