Snapshot Format
StarryOrbits snapshots are stored in a plain text file (.txt extension) arranged like so:
N (= number of bodies)
T (= time)
m0 x0 y0 z0 vx0 vy0 vz0
m1 x1 ........
Where m0 = mass of body 0
x0 y0 z0 = positions of body 0
vx0 vy0 vz0 = velocities of body 0
Note the space between each number.
Floating point numbers are best stored in scientific notation for accuracy.
