Simple solar system

A rather simplified solar-system simulation, a sun and 4 planets, of which one has a single moon and one two moons, which bears a small similarity to our solar system.
This is mainly just a test to see if I remembered how push and pop worked, alond with some object-heirachy/recursive stuff.

Moving the mouse will rotate the system about the sun.

That's nice. I think now my next "project" will be fractal saturn-rings.
Perhaps then you could use that for asteroid rings.

I just tried the Saturnrings and the algorithm is simple, but I would need the natural logarithm as a function.
There is only pow(), sqrt(),.. but no ln()

You could use Math.ln() from Java...

Thanks, I have almost no experience in Java but I'll try to implement it.
