+## Plan 
+
+### 1. Add gravitating particle
+
+Add a particle with specific mass and location. No accretion included. 
+
+### 2. Add simple accretion
+
+Add an accretion property of the particle. Use just a basic form. 
+
+### 3. Add Complicated accretion
+
+Add accretion properties which might be useful for the sake of physical correctness and/or numerical stability. 
+
+### 4. Add particle movement. (OPTIONAL)
+
+Make is possible for the particle to accrete momentum in addition to mass, and therefore influence its movement. 
+
+### 5. Multiple particles. (VERY OPTIONAL)
+
+Create sink particles dynamically and allow the presence of multiple sinks.
