In this paper, we construct a space-charge tracking code from the retarded Liénard-Wiechert potentials, which are covariant by design, in a Lagrangian formulation. Such potentials are manipulated with covariant derivatives to produce the necessary equations of motion that will be solved in a test system of two particles at various relative energies. Magnetic dipole moment dynamics are also evaluated where applicable.}}, }
