The numerical study of a gravitating system of colliding particles has many potential applications, for instance the formation of flat galaxies, the formation of the solar system and the evolution of Saturn's rings. Preliminary results are presented for the galactic case. The system tends towards a final equilibrium state and it seems that such a collision mechanism can flatten a protogalaxy.
