I was thinking about implementing the Runge-Kutta method or Verlet algorithm. I think this does involve changing my interact(Body) method and passing time to the method somehow? Right now, I have a Timer in my drawing method that calls the interact(Body) for every Body each time.

On the other hand, if you don't need high accuracy and only want your simulation to look convincing for simple systems, the added complexity is probably not worth it. | |
| May 2, 2015 at 17:18 | comment | added | David Zhang | I don't know if this is appropriate for Code Review, but if the accuracy of the simulation is important to you, you may want to consider implementing a more sophisticated numerical integrator. What you're doing essentially amounts to Euler's method... | |
