Physion (Education)

Physion is a Physics Simulation Software, much better and more complete than the popular (and hard to find) Physics Illustrator.

Since it is quite difficult to describe in a few words all of its features and capabilities, please watch the following video to get an idea:

Fun With Attractors (Fun)

This time I will propose something different, games in which you can have some fun with gravity.

Here and here you can find two flash games(?) where you can play with gravity (no purpose - very addictive)

If you want something that looks more like a game, go and download Strange Attractors by Ominous Development.

In this game everything is controlled with a single button that toggles in the influence of gravity between your ship and everything else.

Have fun :-)

Physics Illustrator (Education)

EDIT: A great alternative is this:Physion

Recently I saw this video:



By searching around I found a simple program that does almost the same things:
You sketch some object, connect them with springs, ropes or joints, add forces to the system and then watch its behaviour in real time.



The program is Physics Illustrator from microsoft and originally runs only on tablet pcs. However there some builds in the wild that can run on any pc.

Also Design-simulation offers similar but more proffesional and complex programs (and the program used in the video)
