Basic Controls
SPAWN: Drag items from the catalog into space to place them.
MOVE: Tap and drag any celestial body to reposition it.
INSPECT: Long-press any object to see its stats, speed, and habitability.
Maps & History
MAPS MENU: Choose from presets like the Solar System or Alpha Centauri.
BACK IN TIME: Revisit the early solar system with proto-planets and the ancient Proto-Sun.
Physics & Orbits
PLANET ORBIT: New planets automatically lock into circular orbits around the nearest star.
BINARY ORBIT: Two stars will begin a gravitational dance around each other.
ZONES: Toggle "Zones" to see Boiling (Red), Habitable (Green), and Freezing (Cyan) rings around stars.
Galaxies & Exoplanets
GALAXIES: Ginormous 3D structures. If the Milky Way and Andromeda collide, they merge into a single stunning galaxy.
EXOPLANETS: Wildcard worlds with random colors, sizes, and textures. Many come with procedural ring systems!
Collisions
ABSORB: Larger planets consume smaller ones, gaining their mass.
EXPLODE: Similar-sized collisions result in a shower of rocky debris.
SUPERNOVA: Star collisions trigger a massive explosion that distorts space and vaporizes everything caught in the blast.
Ancient Worlds
ANCIENT TAB: Explore the early solar system with proto-planets and a dimmer Proto-Sun.
THE BIG SMASH: Smash Theia into Proto-Earth to trigger a massive merger and form the glowing lava moon, Proto-Luna.
Special Anomalies
BLACK HOLE: A massive singularity that actively sucks in and destroys nearby matter.
WHITE HOLE: The opposite of a black hole; it forcefully launches objects away with extreme speed.
PROTO-DISK: Hold a star to toggle its disk. It will swirl with dust and slowly form unique, named exoplanets.
