    Java Calculating Gravity in Java with 2 Bodies

    Gravity doesn't behave in the way you'd expect, it causes things to move round in seemingly random directions which don't appear to follow a pattern. The subtracting thing was my way of trying to keep the angle positive. Ie: between 0 and 2pi and avoiding -1pi or 7pi, but I've since found...

    I'm pulling my hair out with this problem. I have two bodies and I'm trying to calculate gravity between them. This is for a game, and there are actually three bodies currently, each frame, I check the distance each one moves due to gravity and store it in a cache (to simulate gravity acting on...
