@blinry@chaos.social One day back in about 1995, I was bored and decided to write a small DOS program to render VGA graphics for a planet orbiting a sun. Rather than simply plotting a circle and rasterizing it over time, I wrote an actual Newtonian physics equation solver for the gravitational pull, and chose mass and distance and angular velocity for the bodies. I basically tuned the params by binary chop and intuition until I had it semi-stable for a minute, and declared victory !
