What is Physion?

AI Thread Summary
Physion is a free 2D physics simulation program available for Windows and Linux, offering features similar to Phun and Algodoo. Users can access it through its official website for downloads. The software is praised for its capabilities, including being a scriptable simulator, which enhances its functionality. Despite its potential, there are concerns about its visibility and community engagement, as discussions about it have dwindled over the past two years. Overall, Physion presents a valuable alternative for physics simulation enthusiasts.

Hello everyone,

Physion is a 2D Physics simulation program. It is quite difficult to explain its features and how exactly it works so please watch the videos below to get the main idea.

Looks good.
 
So it's like Phun/Algodoo, but free? Neat :)

Phun isn't free anymore? Yikes! (Well, I last used it over 2 years ago... so I guess that explains why I'm not up to date on this.)

Thanks for the alternative, dxanthopoulos! I'll have to check it out (and I love that you have Tux in there!).
 
They're commercialized phun as Algodoo, yep. IMO Physion seems just as useful in accomplishing the ideas Phun could.
 
That looks neat. And I agree, it's great to see Tux in there. (I'm sort of a Penguinista physics geek...posting from a Linux box right now)

This is a really amazing software! Not just a simulator... even a scriptable simulator!
Why does it look as died and nobody is talking about it since 2 years? Maybe a different project was born from it and I'm not aware of it?
 
News?
