There is an edge of the Universe or it is infinite? What would be if two galaxies began to face and integrate with each other. Or what happens if the huge asteroid or a comet crashes into Earth? The game Universe Sandbox will tell about it. In it not only contemplation of the Universe in all beauty and variety thanks to remarkable volume 3D graphics is possible, but also it is possible to observe space objects in the different modes, there is an opportunity to change their parameters and location in space and to see consequences of these manipulations.
Game Universe Sandbox
Game in a genre "indi-sandbox" provides huge, almost real Universe with the galaxies, star systems, but, generally there is an opportunity to consider and change our solar system with the known planets, since Mercury and finishing with Pluto.
It is possible to learn the mass of the planet, to change it, change of an orbit of each planet is possible or, in general, to mix everything or to trade places. The possibility of creation of the system or even galaxies is provided in a game. For example, you can replace planets football or basketballs. Or to push off two galaxies and to watch this beautiful and effective process.
Game is designed more for the prepared and inquisitive gamer, than for the ordinary player, it is not designed for couple of evenings, and requires deep study and consideration.
Graphics in a game for such genre very good, plotting of planets is detailed as if data came from pictures of NASA or other satellites. Views of galaxies are so convincing as though they are transferred from documentaries about space.
In addition to planets and stars about one hundred unique asteroids, meteorites and comets are still provided. It is possible to create the moment of the birth and death of a star, and this process is shown very in details. All planets and stars and other space bodies behave under all laws of physics of Newton.
If it becomes absolutely boring for you to make own galaxies and systems, then you can create a pool table, and planets and stars will be spheres, and thanks to realistic physics they beautifully will scatter in different directions.
Modeling of situations in Universe Sandbox
In a game there are charts for comparison and analytics, and many other things, it perfectly is suitable for the different presentations at the universities, especially at faculties of astronomy and also will be interesting to the gamers seeking to learn the mysteries of the Universe.
In Universe sandbox it is possible to create many global disasters: for example, all known, an asteroid Apofis which presumably will face our planet. It is possible to feign this collision and to show what will be if nothing to undertake. Show a situation in which the Sun will go out and as the model of the solar system without the Sun will look.
Now all dream to see the first expedition on the planet Mars and it can be considered from different foreshortenings: study an orbit, quantity of revolutions around the Sun diameter, planet geography, official names of mountains and plains, and even the dried-up lakes and the seas.
Universe Sandbox not simply a game on couple of evenings, and the whole scientific project which will be relevant almost always. A game is the quite good tool for scientific projects in space exploration.
