EtiC is a galaxy simulation software that generates and renders a mock galaxy for rational estimation of the number of extraterrestrial civilizations.
Stars and planets are simulated with plausible physical characteristics, based on user-adjustable parameters.
An EtiC simulation run consists to generate a galaxy disk physical stars, associate planets to the stars, and for habitable planets, simulate the life stages evolution until extinction.
A visual animation of the galaxy and user selection of highlighted star-planet objects is provided, together with statistics (25+ graphs) and estimates of Drake equation factors.
The V2_1 provides several new features: planets surface magnetic field, reworked life stage transitions, integration of MW exoplanets catalog, planets view and graphs window optionally on different threads...
EtiC is based on OpenGL / GLFW 3.2, runs on MSWindows 7 and MacOsX.
Source code in C++, was developped using the Dev-C++ IDE and XCode.

    I am not sure why it doesn't have any reviews yet. But this is God damn great software for free :-D
