SpaceSim Alternatives

SpaceSim is described as 'Simulation & rendering software that uses Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics (SPH) to simulate collisions of celestial bodies, accretion disks around black holes, or formation of galaxies in the early universe' and is an app in the education & reference category. There are five alternatives to SpaceSim for a variety of platforms, including Windows, Steam, itch.io, Mac and Linux apps. The best SpaceSim alternative is Universe Sandbox. It's not free, so if you're looking for a free alternative, you could try OpenSPH or Milky Way. Other great apps like SpaceSim are Space Crash Simulator and Space Simulation Toolkit.
