⚛️ Orbits Under Hypothetical Force Laws: 2D Top-Down View

Interactive 2D top-down model of test particles orbiting a central mass under a modified force law (variable exponent, Yukawa fifth force, non-conservative swirl), with measured periapsis precession, eccentricity, energy drift and a potential-versus-Newton plot.
