I have a Barnes-Hut tree force calculator with a leapfrog integrator
that's written in IDL... the force calculator is standalone, but the
integrator would require a few minutes of work to extract from the
piece of code that it's in. Let me know if you need it and I can get
the main parts out for you.

But... you *really* don't want to do it in IDL. It's inherently an
iterative problem, which is not well-suited to IDL. Write it in C or
python or something. :-)=
