N-Body and Spring Simulation with OpenGL

This project is an OpenGL-based simulation for visualizing both N-body gravitational interactions and spring dynamics. The project is built using C++ and the OpenGL library.

Features

N-Body Simulation

• Simulates the gravitational interactions between multiple celestial bodies.
• Real-time 3D visualization.
• User can free roam around the simulation environment.

Spring Simulation

• Simulates the oscillatory motion of a spring-mass system.
• Real-time controls for changing physical parameters.
• Real-time 3D visualization.
