NOC – Final Project – Wentao Wang

Title: The “Black” hole

In my final project proposal, I mentioned that I was inspired by the black hole and intended to create my own visualization of a black hole. So for this project, I created a black hole that can be controlled by the users to attract the planets in the universe.

This is the “universe” I created

The big ellipse in the middle is the black hole. Since you cannot really see a black hole, so I made it white for visualizing it. The particles in the space are moving by themselves, here I use the autonomous concept. 

The color of the black hole and the planets are changing and blend mode is used here.

You can drag the bar and change different variables including attraction, the size of the attraction field, max steer force, friction, detection radius. Here are some examples.

Increase the attraction force

decrease the attraction force

after the explosion

the explosion is constructed in this way:

Here are some interactions I added in this project:

using key and mouse to control the moving of the black hole.
