Skein

Skein is a library for efficiently simulating Keplerian astrodynamics.

Particles

Kepler models orbiting bodies as particles. Particles are zero-dimensional objects which can be on elliptical orbits around other particles. The orbited particle is assumed to make up the overwhelming majority of the mass of the combined two-object system.

Compiling

Windows

Install GLFW 3.3.8 https://www.glfw.org/download.html Install GLEW 2.2.0 https://github.com/nigels-com/glew/releases/tag/glew-2.2.0

extract the downloaded .zip files to "C:/libs"; this is currently expected by our CMakeLists.txt.

Install CMake https://cmake.org/download Add to PATH for all users from project root: mkdir build cd build cmake .. cmake --build . The last step compiles the executable - this can also be done from Visual Studio
