So Far: Spent the last couple of hours dealing with a massive headache trying to optimize my Chromebook setup. Because I’m using the browser-based cloud setup with github.dev and Replit, I spent a chunk of time testing the live-reload speeds and syncing changes between Git and Streamlit to make sure the environment won’t crash when the project gets bigger. Progress: Since the environment is finally stable, I pivoted to researching how to actually handle the math for the next phase. I looked into how Streamlit handles plotting graphs and started mapping out how to translate the physics formulas (like the gravitational field interactions) into Python vectors. It turns out doing real orbital physics in a browser app requires a lot of coordinate transformations so the dots don’t just fly off the screen. Next Steps: Start writing the actual gravity formulas in code, try to get the background looking less boring, and look into how to swap the manual coordinate slider for mouse-click inputs! I had to attach a picture, so I’ve chosen one from a different project: Atlas26 - a real-time 3D solar system simulation. That is not what my project is but I’d like to get it to look like that.
