Abstract

In this thesis, the process behind producing an application in python which simulates galaxy collisions is explained. The aim of the application is for it to be used by students in order to introduce them to the concepts of galaxy collisions in an educational manner. The application is based upon a java application called GalCrash, created by Chris Mihos. The application is tested by students and the educational value of the application is then discussed based on the feedback provided.
