Important donut question.

[Kidlicious]

Why isn't there a candy called "feminists?"

[Donegeal]

They were chewy nerds called "Dweebs". Liked them better than nerds.

(How am I susposed to stay away from a thread title like this?)

[Aeson]

Now that you mention it Sava, I remember that too.

I'd assume there were also "eggheads".

That sounds familiar

[AAAAAAAAH!]

What if God made a donut-shaped planet? Checkmate atheists.

[regexcellent]

YES. God. There's even an option for it when you start the game. After you pick your civ and leader just set the world wrap to "toroidal."

[Lorizael]

Not everyone plays civ, apparently. Maybe we can draw the donut-curious here with this thread and keep them with our friendly off-topic vibrant on-topic bot and spam free environment hideously addictive, psychologically damaging community.

Try it for yourself. Do a binary star system and see how it goes.

[Lorizael]

Neat game, but the 2 AU barrier kinda limits you. (Yes, I know, because it's a game more than a simulator.)

[Sir Og]

It is really hard to make a stable system with lots of heavy planets.

Also I notice that the initial earth like planet that you start with is the hardest to get into some stable orbit. I played around for about 20 min.

I guess the wise and all knowing Google knows that Lori likes donuts.

I've been making a crude solar system simulator in Java the past few days (for entirely unrelated reasons). It's more a baby solar system simulator, because I've got a bunch of masses all moving in different directions with the ability to hit each other and clump together. Planets get ejected a lot, but I usually do end up with a few planets in regular orbits if I wait long enough. (I have no idea how realistic my simulation is... probably not very.)

[AAAAAAAAH!]

Is there a way to change orbital direction?

This is exactly what God was saying on some super-dimensional version of Apolyton 6000 years ago ...
