    I built this with Claude cause I always wanted to tinker with a simulation economoy and I love space themes. A space-economy sim where nothing is scripted.

    A solar system simulation in the browserDec 2025 · luna.watermelonson.com · ▲13

It's free and runs in the browser. I'd love to hear any feedback.
