Physics is Phun!

12 March 2008 24 views 4 Comments

Here’s another time-waster for all you folks!  Phun is a "2D physics sandbox" that lets you quickly design all sorts of things and simulate how they will react in the real world.

For support, there is a Wiki and a modest user community in the Phun Forum.  There is also a YouTube group where you can share all of your phun designs!

Check out the video below:

Phun was created by Emil Ernerfeldt for a Master of Science Thesis at VRLab, Umeå University.  "Phun is meant to be a playground where people can be creative.  It can also be used as an educational tool to learn about physics concepts such as restitution and friction."

So go ahead, take a break and have some Phun!

    If Physics was actually like this in college I probably would not have a nervous breakdown.

    This would be great for kids huh.
