Sets up the foundational data structure for an orbital simulation. Universal
N-body gravity is automatically integrated into the system using the specified
gravitational constant.
Usage
create_system(G = gravitational_constant)
Arguments
- G
The gravitational constant. Defaults to the real-world value
(`gravitational_constant`, 6.6743e-11 m^3 kg^-1 s^-2).
To simulate a zero-gravity environment (inertia only), set `G = 0`.
Value
An empty `orbit_system` object ready for bodies to be added.
Examples
# Creates a system with standard gravity
my_universe <- create_system()
# Creates a universe with 10x stronger gravity
heavy_universe <- create_system(G = gravitational_constant * 10)
# Creates a zero-gravity sandbox
floating_universe <- create_system(G = 0)
