Galaxy Collider simulates the universe in your pocket. So brace yourself for the collision of the Milky Way with the Andromeda Galaxy!
Galaxy Collider simulates the physics of interacting galaxies by computing the gravitational forces between the stars and the heavy galaxy centers.
Galaxy collider features a high performance particle engine that can interactively visualize spectacular galaxy interactions. It uses OpenGL point sprites for rendering thousands of high-quality stars at high frame rates.
The parameters of the simulation, such as the number of galaxies and stars, masses, etc. can be changed interactively to explore the infinite number of possible interactions between the galaxies.
Galaxy collider uses the build-in accelerometer of IPhone or IPod touch to change viewpoints add real external forces to the simulation.

8 of 23I'm looking forward to some great updates to this already great app!
I love this app I personally find it very entertaining! I would, however, like more options such as a much higher particle limit, Galaxy thickness and type, The ability to change constants such as gravity, speed of light, etc... I have also come across whet I think is a bug. If you let the simulation run for a long time all of the stars just suddenly disintegrate :(.
It keeps crashing when I put 5 galaxies I should have never bought this game everybody just vote for 1 star they still haven't given the update
It seems cool, but I can't even put three galaxies on without the game freezing. It really needs work, but eventually it could be worthwhile.
Please make galaxy’s collide when I add galaxies they’re not colliding very bad ☹️☹️☹️☹️☹️
This is a pretty cool conceptual app. It shows random galaxies colliding with each other. The graphics are decent and it's just fun. I have two quams about it though. The first is that most of the time the animation ends before you can see a whole new steady galaxy form and the other is that it annoyingly rotates with the movement of the iPhone. I would suggest that the author allow this app to be seen in full screen which would make the experience a bit more realistic. But hey, it's $0.99 so it's well worth a download. My advice is to give it a try...I think you'll like it.
Besides the random crashing mentioned by others I wish the app would hold all my configuration settings when I quit (or it quits itself). Very nice when it works though. Thanks, Chris
It's quite entertaining, but the 5 galaxies crash should be fixed.
