Particles' positions and colors were calculated with a Lua script I put together. View with decorations enabled (preferably also with viewing mode 8) and unpause to watch the gravity diffuse the galaxy into a cloud of particles orbiting a central mass.

    Perhaps it is also entertaining to look at the evolution of a diffuse torus of orbiting particles after all.

    You should publish final version of script

    I am currently experimenting with some values in the generation script. I figured I would let the galaxy stay with 5 arms for now. Nothing really helps the arms stay longer unless I make them a lot skinnier.

    This is great! It acts just the way our galaxy does. If only it could last for a long time before destroying itself, then I'll give a +1

    Please make sure newtonian gravity is enabled, too.

    The spinning is fixed. It actually works the way I want it to now.
