Gravity
A simple gravity simulator for the web. Created by Hermann.
Black Hole Launcher
A simulation of the spacetime around a Schwarzschild black hole where you can fling astroids and light to your heart’s content. Created by TestTubeGames.
Swing Explorer
A simulated swing, with some tools for exploring the physics behind pumping your legs. Created by TestTubeGames.
Black Hole Hunter
Investigate the gravitational wave signals from colliding black holes. Created by Cardiff University.
Orbit
Gravity game on mobile devices and steam, where you pass levels by orbiting multiple planets without crashing them. Created by Highkey Games.
Periodic Three-Body Orbits
A nice interactive look at three-body orbits that repeat. Created by Ricky Reusser.
Black Hole Explorer
Explore the spacetime around a black hole in your rocket ship. Created by TestTubeGames.
Deflection of Light in Schwarzschild Spacetime
Basic and easy-to-use simulation for light curving around a black hole. Created by Thomas Müller.
Schwarzschild Trajectories
A slick simulation of particles flying around a black hole. Created by Ricky Reusser.
Kerr Spherical Photon Orbits
An explorable explanation of the orbits around a spinning black hole. Created by Dr. Leo Stein.
Universe Sandbox
Downloadable space simulation that lets you smash planets together in a really cool way. Created by Giant Army.
Gravity Simulator – Huffman
Very cool 3D astronomical simulations, running right in the browser. Created by Darrell Huffman.
Gravity with Poisson Equation
Cool look at gravity of many, many bodies, calculated on a mesh. Looks neat, too. Created by Ricky Reusser.
Gravity Simulator – TestTubeGames
Fling planets and change physics in this gravity sandbox. Available in browser and for download. Created by TestTubeGames.
The Hunt for Dark Matter
Explore how Gravitational Lensing can be used to find Dark Matter. And as a bonus there’s a game at the end! Created by Shaun Hotchkiss.
Why do Astronauts Float?
A playful look at the science behind ‘floating’ in space. Created by TestTubeGames.
Kerbal Space Program
Most games aren’t rocket science, but this one is. Created by Squad.
PhyPhox
Turn your phone into a physics lab. Graph things like acceleration, pressure, and magnetic field. Very powerful stuff. Created by RWTH Aachen University.
