Physics - Simulation of Modifiable Spaceship

This simulation models the changing properties of a modifiable spaceship including the changing moment of inertia and center of mass for when a tile is added. This is calculated using the finite element method, by considering each of the components of the spaceship individually. The simulation also includes dynamic lighting, thruster particle effects that interact with the surroundings, and a character one can use to explore Newtonian motion in space (WASD + Q and E for rotation).
