NIFarious Idea: Universe Sandbox - Interactive Space Simulator
This weeks featured NIFarious Idea is the Universe Sandbox, a game-like, yet educational interactive space simulator.
Available for download on Windows PCs only, the Universe Sandbox lets you "play god" with astrological bodies. Moreso physics-based than anything else, the Universe Sandbox begins with a brief walk-through to explain the basic controls: change a planets diameter, shift a moons orbit, hurl a star into Saturn, manipulate a comet's velocity or trajectory - at let the fun unfold, nothing is off limits!
It also comes pre-programmed with several perspectives: Our Solar System, Our Local Galaxies, Earth & Moon, Saturn & Moon, Small Scale Gravity, Floating Moons, Collision with Jupiter, Nearby Stars, Uranus & Moons, Jupiter & Moons, Galaxy Collision, Neptune & Moons, Constellations and Planets & All Moons. For a better idea of the fun, check out the YouTube video here: Universe Sandbox - Interactive Space Simulator. A screenshot of "Our Solar System" is below.
Destroy planets, fly around Deep Space and learn about astrophysics all at the same time? Now thats dangerous...and for that, we thank you Universe Sandbox!
