This is a GUI-based program that allows users to create their own solar system with configurable planets and moons. The program uses Processing (G4P) for the GUI and animation, and can be run on any platform that supports Java.
The project available in this repository is an academic project and is not intended to be publicly available since it is related to academic coursework, and there is a potential for academic misconduct if it is used improperly.

The Solar System Program has the following features:
- A sun in the center of the screen, with an appropriate color and blur filter applied
- 100 stars positioned randomly in the background
- An earth that spins and rotates around the sun, displayed using an image
- A moon that rotates around the earth, displayed using a circle
- GUI controls to update the number of stars, the speed of earth's spin and rotation, the speed and distance of the moon's rotation, the distance of earth from the sun, and the distance between the earth and moon
- GUI controls to add new planets to the solar system, with customizable size, color, spin and movement speed, distance from the sun, and presence of a moon
- GUI control to remove the last added planet
- GUI controls to pause and restart all animations, and to reset the program
- GUI control to take a screenshot of the canvas
- Background sound that continuously plays when the program starts
