A simulation of the three-body problem / n-body problem with 36 free masses. The masses are initially arranged in three counter-rotating rings. The simulation is able to maintain symmetry by use of the mass-shadowing technique.
all masses equal
chaos / chaotic motion
velocities and positions calculated using Euler integration
