The Solar System, with Rust & WASM

This is an ongoing project to build a simple model of the solar system. I will use a HTML canvas as a background and try and do all the processing using a web assembly module.

Motivation

I’ve been trying to learn Rust for a few years now, I’ve done a couple of example projects (the wasm-game-of-life) and a desktop alarm/timer app, but nothing substantial.

I’ve also wanted to create my own website where I could showcase my projects. This is the first project on that journey. I have a lot of work ahead to make the site look good. So I’m trying to keep the scope of this project fairly limited.

Tasks

• Create the sun
• Make an earth to orbit the sun
• Add other planets
• Make the orbit times & locations realistic, add output of the year
• Output time to render & time to process
• Pause / step years. Or set year
