Particle Physics Simulation with Gravitational Effects

This repository contains a simple particle physics simulation that demonstrates the behavior of particles with gravitational effects. The simulation is implemented using Pygame for visualization and PyOpenGL for rendering.

Prerequisites

• Python 3.x
• Pygame (install using pip install pygame)
• PyOpenGL (install using pip install PyOpenGL)

How to Run

1. Clone the repository to your local machine using Git or download the ZIP file.

2. Open a terminal or command prompt and navigate to the repository's directory.

3. Run the simulation script using the one of the following commands:

   python random_particle_simulation_2d.py
   python random_particle_simulation_3d.py
   

4. The simulation window will open, and you'll see particles moving and interacting with gravitational effects.

5. To exit the simulation, simply close the window.

Functionality

The simulation showcases the following functionalities:

• Particles: A number of particles are generated randomly on the screen, each with a random weight, initial position, and velocity.

• Gravitational Effects: Particles experience a simplified form of gravitational interaction. As particles cross each other, their velocities and directions are affected by the gravitational pull based on their weights.

• Bouncing off Borders: The particles bounce off the borders of the simulation window, creating a bouncing effect when they reach the edges.
