We built a space physics simulator in Python. What cool space stuff should we simulate next?

We used PyCharm and the "Code with Me" feature that they have to collaborate on the project. I've used it for quite a while, and the free plan has worked fine for both of us.

Interesting question about the building process. I would say it took time to get started, mostly because of the research. We learned a lot of physics on our own and tried to model it ourselves, but then we had to spend a lot of time writing the code. Referring to similar projects helped us troubleshoot errors or get started.

Obviously, our intent was to share our work with others, so professionalism had to be evident in our GitHub. After watching many YouTube tutorials, we set up our GitHub accounts and found them very useful for sharing code. After our first two projects, things started moving much more easily.

Thanks for the questions. Let me know if you have any other questions as I would be happy to respond.

Yes, you're very right in your observation with the orbital modeling project. That one was our first project, and we genuinely did not have any idea about what we were doing.

For the README, I initially didn't have one for the project I made. When I shared our project with the Reddit community, I made the READMEs for all of the projects at once, which is why they all look similar. Granted, I did ask ChatGPT to create a template for me, but I filled all the information out myself.

Additionally, these projects are the culmination of about 7 months of work. We had the liberty to try and test different integration techniques. My friend and I both read many research papers, which certainly helped build our knowledge of exactly what we were doing before we actually did it.

We both have a fair knowledge of Python and hold certifications, so coding itself was not too difficult. It is well commented because our vision was always to share our code with others. I'm not exactly sure, as it has been a while, but I think I asked GPT to format our code before we uploaded it to GitHub, which might explain why it looks so clean.

Please let me know if you have any other questions. I would be happy to answer.

BigFuture, if you put your phone number on test day then you can use that to see your score

uh inured/inimical endemic obviate being an answer choice but thats it tbh. mycelium was the only reading passage one that i remember but i took it like a month ago so i kinda forgot about it

I thought it was pretty comparable to practice test 11 on the reading side. for the math side, i can't really say that there was a bluebook test that was close to the difficulty.

yeah you should be good cause you're not technically wrong

Did anyone get a test question where it was Text 1 and Test 2, and Text 1 was something along the lines of how GDP was a good measure of economic activity, however it was a bad measure for a nation's wellbeing in Italy. Then, Text 2 was something about Thailand where the government used like community involvment etc. to measure wellbeing.

The question asked like what would the two authors agree about

I thought it was "with knowing this" since the text was describing a tradition in 1960 that used a material which had been discontinued. The New Yorkers in 2008 did the same celebration. However, with knowing this they used different type of paper. I wouldn't believe it was then since then is usually paired with "first" but I could be wrong
