Gravity Wells with NO Trig!

Drawn to Gravity projects - but Repulsed by Trigonometry???  Here's a simple No Trig Gravity Project that uses a "guide sprite" to account for the gravity effect of two "planets", with No Trigonometry at all.  It could easily be expanded to include more gravity sources.

Please give it a try and let me know what you think of it.

Gravity Sources can be dragged...

Press "s" to slow the simulation down and show the guide sprite so you can see how the project works...

Have fun...

Re: Gravity Wells with NO Trig!

If you prefer your gravity "down" here's another No Trig gravity project that also uses a guide sprite to do projectile motion (gravity is down only).
