Accrete is a physical simulation of solar system planet formation,
|
||
|
|
originally published to Usenet-- probably comp.sources.unix-- in 1991
|
||
|
|
by Joe Nowakowski. This software is in the public domain.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
This simulation works by modelling a dust cloud around a Sun-like
|
||
|
|
star, injecting a series of masses which collect dust, and form
|
||
|
|
planets. The simulation then determines what the planetary
|
||
|
|
environments will be like in terms of temperature, atmospheric
|
||
|
|
composition, and other factors. The system description is saved to a
|
||
|
|
file named "New.System".
