Phun is an educational, entertaining and somewhat (!) addictive piece of software for designing and exploring 2D multi-physics simulations in a cartoony fashion.

Looks fun.

It wasn't all that great. I like Armadillo Run instead.

Rats! Neither of those will run in Jaguar.

Wow this is an awesome physics sim. At first it doesn't seem that great until you play around with it enough to make some really complicated objects. I wish you could actually manipulate more of the physics though.

Are there any sandboxes out there that incorporate thermodynamic effects? For example, being able to apply heat to a portion of a closed system so you can watch the temperature transfer?

That would be cool. I think theres alot of Java applets that do this but I dunno if theres anything like Phun for it. E&M would be a cool sandbox too.
