Dead and Dying(Posted 2004-11-30)
For the moment this project has died. I simply got tired of fighting with the system where each minor tweak caused half the planets and moons to disapear. Every 15 minutes or programming was followed by 4 or 5 hours of bug hunting to see why the tweak messed things up. Needless to say it was frustrating so I've kinda lost interest in this project.

It needs to be totally rewritten from the beginning to take into account the problems with vast distances and the ratio of Sun to moon/asteroid sizes.
