Since this is just for a gravitational interaction simulation, collisions should not be worried about, right?
 
 
I propose we leave the method of numerical integration up to the user as long as their error is within a given amount.
 
== a simple case with an explicit solution ==
 
The J solution has a 3-body radially symmetrical configuration which is integrated over 2000 steps, which runs in a couple of seconds on my phone and produces a nice result. I don't think mplementingimplementing tens of steps would ever be an actual programming assignment. The system in this configuration is in dynamic equilobrium; with a proper choice of initial velocity it would be is static equilibrium.
