💡 AI App Starter Prompt

Use this prompt to build a project with airball
Create a mini-application called 'FlybySimulator' that allows users to simulate celestial body flybys using the 'airball' package. This application will enable users to input parameters such as masses, initial positions, and velocities of celestial bodies to simulate their interactions under gravitational forces. The app should provide a simple graphical user interface (GUI) built with PyQt5 or Tkinter for ease of use. Additionally, it should include features like saving simulation data to a file, loading previously saved simulations, and visualizing the results in real-time. Users should be able to adjust simulation settings dynamically while the simulation is running. Utilize the 'airball' package to manage and run these simulations efficiently. Provide detailed documentation on how to install dependencies, set up the environment, and run the application.
