Through doing this project, we were +able to edit the classes to be able to graph the positions of mass. + +Although this was no exactly what we wanted our modification to be, this is a huge step towards having a functional +Three Body Problem. In addition to that, those who wish to edit this in the future will have their basis for the +Three Body Problem. The issue that we hit with our modification was that we could not implement the integrators to +compute what we needed to calculate the orbits of the planets.
