  2. Stellar collision - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stellar_collision

    About half of all the stars in the sky are part of binary systems, with two stars orbiting each other. Some binary stars orbit each other so closely that they share the same atmosphere, giving the system a peanut shape. While most such contact binary systems are stable, some do become unstable and either eject one partner or eventually merge.

  3. Double Star (board game) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Double_Star_(board_game)

    Double Star is a two-player game about space warfare, [1] and operates on the belief that warfare between two star systems is possible but expensive and difficult. [2]This game is based in a binary star system, where the two stars orbit each other, and each star has a different human colony orbiting it; one is of Chinese descent, the other Arab.

  4. SpaceEngine - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SpaceEngine

    Although objects that form part of a planetary system move, and stars rotate about their axes and orbit each other in multiple star systems, stellar proper motion or precession is not simulated, and galaxies are at fixed locations and do not rotate. Most real-world spacecraft such as Voyager 2 are not provided with SpaceEngine. The few ...

  5. Binary system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Binary_system

    Binary stars are also classified based on orbit. Wide binaries are objects with orbits that keep them apart from one another. [1] They evolve separately and have very little effect on each other. Close binaries are close to each other and are able to transfer mass from one another. They can also be classified based on how we observe them.

    Unity is a cross-platform game engine developed by Unity Technologies, first announced and released in June 2005 at Apple Worldwide Developers Conference as a Mac OS X game engine. The engine has since been gradually extended to support a variety of desktop , mobile , console , augmented reality , and virtual reality platforms.

  7. Kepler-47b - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kepler-47b

    The stars orbit each other about every 7.45 days. [2] The stars have masses of 1.04 M ☉ and 0.35 M ☉ and radii of 0.96 R ☉ and 0.35 R ☉ , respectively. [ 2 ] [ 1 ] They have temperatures of 5636 K and 3357 K. [ 2 ] [ 1 ] Based on the stellar characteristics and orbital dynamics, an estimated age of 4–5 billion years for the system is ...

  8. Godot (game engine) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Godot_(game_engine)

    Godot allows video game developers to create both 3D and 2D games using multiple programming languages, such as C++, C# and GDScript. [8] It makes use of a hierarchy of nodes to facilitate the development experience. [9] Classes can be derived from a node type to create more specialized node types that inherit behavior.

  9. Box2D - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Box2D

    An earlier version of the Box2D engine, now known as Box2D Lite, was released primarily for educational purposes, based on a series of yearly Game Developers Conference presentations that Erin Catto has given. Box2D Lite uses many of the same algorithms as Box2D, but has a smaller feature set.
