Planet Simulator

This repository contains a Planet Simulator written in Python using the PyGame library. The simulator allows you to simulate a solar system with planets, their orbits, rotations, and movement. It's a graphics programming example that provides an interactive way to explore the dynamics of celestial bodies.

Getting Started

To run the Planet Simulator, follow these steps:

1. Install Python 3.x on your system if not already installed.
2. Install the PyGame library by running the following command:

   pip install pygame
   

3. Clone this repository to your local machine:

   git clone https://github.com/metidev/planet-simulator.git
   

4. Navigate to the cloned repository's directory:

   cd planet-simulator
   

5. Run the simulation by executing the planets.py script:

   python solar.py
   

Features

• Simulate the orbits and rotations of planets in a solar system.
• Adjust the viewpoint to explore the simulated universe.
• Interact with the simulation to better understand the movements of planets.
