This program simulates the orbit of a satellite around a larger body of mass. The satellite can be controlled by firing particles of mass, which via newton's third law act like a rocket, causing the satellite to accelerate. There is background music, which you can cause to play by un-commenting the lines marked "audio". The music is the theme from the game FTL. All code was written by me, except for the code to play background music, which I got from a minim example called "PlayAFile".
The video that inspired this project was as follows:
