Cosmic Simulation

What is this Repository?

This Repository contains the Source Code for the Nightsky-Project and the SkySim-Project.

Nightsky

Nightsky is a Web-Application with which Celestial Constellations and their drift over long periods of time can be simulated.

SkySim

SkySim is a Web-Application with which artificial and real Solar-Systems can be simulated.

How to start this Project

Start Nightsky

Nightsky is a Vanilla-JavaScript Application and thus can directly be served using any Web-Server, we recommend using Apache. Alternatively, the Nightsky/index.html-File can be opened locally using a Web-Browser.

Start SkySim

SkySim is a React-Application and thus needs to be started including ReactJS. You can alternatively generate a Production-Build of SkySim for Deployment on a Web-Server.

1. Install NodeJS
2. Navigate into the Directory SkySim/
3. Run npm install to install all dependencies
4. Run npm start to start the Development build of SkySim
5. Optionally: Run npm run-script build to generate a Production-Build of SkySim
