A cool little gravity simulator I found a few years ago that can show orbital swaps and interactions. Its also just kinda fun to play with.

Very cool, thx! I have a feeling I’m going to be wasting even more time on the computer for the next few days than usual!

Cool, I bookmarked it. Have you considered enhancing the code to show 3D orbitals (rather than all in the same ecliptic)?
