update details
Universe Sandbox is a continuation of the space simulator, which showed the real behavior of various objects in space. The game can be used as a virtual astronomy tutorial to understand how black holes behave or asteroids move. At the same time, the game will be interesting not only for beginners, but also for people who know such definitions as Betelgeuse and quantum voids.
The space sandbox gameplay will allow you to create objects, interact with them and destroy them using Newtonian mechanics. Moreover, all elements exist in real time, with real gravity and the interaction of matter. A full-fledged sandbox, Universe Sandbox 2 includes creating planets from hydrogen, iron, water and rocks, watching solar flares and tails of volatile gases, pulsars, black holes and, of course, Dark Matter! And who will say after this that science is boring?
Universe Sandbox allows you to:
- create your own solar system: place a star, add planets, enrich outer space with satellites, comets, rings and even black holes;
- collide planets and stars to watch how planetary bodies interact epically in physics and leave behind huge molten craters;
- simulate the Earth's climate: observe from space how the climate on the planet changes depending on the seasons, or how life on Earth proceeds if it is moved to different distances from the Sun;
- remember the big bang theory: add age and mass to a star, and then watch how a supernova explosion occurs;
- eclipses and other events can be seen using the Juno and New Horizons spacecraft;
- play in VR mode.
