# Python Particle Sim
## Description
The general idea is that I wanted to be able to represent a particle simulation, that accounted for elastic collisions(momentum is conserved), as well as particle gravities. Every particle being represented has a gravitational affect on every other particle. I chose to do it this way because using vector and matrix math we should be able to properly compute everthing instead of having to make optimizing approximations.
Position, Accelerations, and Velocities can all be represented as mathematical vectors so that vector math can be used to speed up processing. From a single threaded approach this is overkill and there's lots of calculations that could be optimized out. But this method scales well to parallel computing
To run the python program simply install the requirements and run the python_particle_simulator.py script.
```bash
pip install -r requirements.txt
python python_particle_simulator.py
```
This script will generate 100 particles to be used in the simulation and renders at about 20fps.
