Scientific Computing with Python

Goois Lyceum | 2023

In my second year of high school, I participated in a class project focused on space simulation through object-oriented programming in Python. Following detailed instructions, I developed a physics-based game where the Earth orbited the Moon. This foundational 'engine' was later adapted for complex simulations, culminating in a realistic representation of the Milky Wayβ€”similar to a planetarium.
