Orbit
Shows the path history. The figure-eight is a choreography: all three bodies share one curve with phase offsets.

THREE BODIES.
ZERO CHILL.
Give three stars a little gravity.
Let the universe take it from there.

Drag a star to change its course. Tiny nudges can lead to very different orbits.
CHOREOGRAPHY SEARCH
Find a closed orbit
The search mutates known orbit families, integrates each candidate, and scores closure, cyclic phase shift, and energy drift.

VIEW MODE
Orbit
Prioritizes path history and body labels. Use it when comparing overall choreography and drift.
VIEW MODE
Forces
Draws pairwise gravity links and acceleration arrows, making the instantaneous pull readable.
VIEW MODE
Phase
Shows velocity vectors, radial guides, and the barycenter for motion-direction analysis.
CHOREOGRAPHY
Figure-eight
Three equal masses follow one figure-eight curve with a one-third-period phase offset.
CENTRAL CONFIGURATION
Lagrange
An equilateral triangle rotates as a rigid shape, useful as a stable-looking reference.
SEARCH
Optimizer
Mutates seed parameters, integrates candidates, and ranks them by phase closure and energy drift.
