A C++ black hole simulation that uses ray tracing and GPU compute shaders to render gravitational lensing, accretion disks, and spacetime curvature grids. It includes both 2D lensing and 3D real-time rendering via OpenGL compute shaders.

Use cases

• simulate gravitational lensing of a black hole
• render an accretion disk with ray tracing
• visualize spacetime curvature around a black hole
• learn GPU compute shader programming in C++
• real-time black hole rendering demo

When to choose

• you want a visual, educational black hole simulation with lensing effects
• you want to study ray-traced gravitational lensing implementation in C++/OpenGL
• you want a GPU compute shader example for physics rendering

When to avoid

• you need a scientifically validated general relativity solver
• you need a cross-platform-guaranteed application (only tested on Windows)
• you need production graphics software with a license and long-term support
