Looks fun.

Can Phun's 2D Physics Sandbox Revolutionize Learning and Entertainment?
In summary, Phun is a 2D multi-physics simulation software that is educational, entertaining and addictive. It has a cartoon-style interface and allows users to design and explore simulations. Although some users may prefer other similar software like Armadillo Run, Phun has been praised for its ability to create complex objects and its potential for incorporating thermodynamic effects in future updates.

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 there's a lot of Java applets that do this but I don't know if there's anything like Phun for it. E&M would be a cool sandbox too.
1. What is a 2D physics sandbox?
A 2D physics sandbox is a digital environment that allows users to simulate and experiment with laws of physics in a two-dimensional space. It often includes tools and features for creating and manipulating objects, as well as settings to adjust parameters such as gravity and friction.
2. What can you do with a 2D physics sandbox?
In a 2D physics sandbox, users can create and manipulate objects, apply forces and constraints, and observe how they interact and behave according to the laws of physics. This can be used for educational purposes, game development, or simply for fun and experimentation.
3. What are the benefits of using a 2D physics sandbox?
Using a 2D physics sandbox can help users gain a better understanding of how objects behave in a physical environment, and how different forces and parameters can affect their behavior. It can also be a useful tool for testing and prototyping game mechanics.
4. Are there any limitations to a 2D physics sandbox?
While a 2D physics sandbox can accurately simulate many aspects of physics, it is limited by its two-dimensional nature. This means that some real-world phenomena, such as fluid dynamics or three-dimensional collisions, may not be accurately represented.
5. Can a 2D physics sandbox be used for educational purposes?
Yes, a 2D physics sandbox can be a valuable tool for teaching and learning about physics concepts. It allows students to visually and interactively explore and experiment with different scenarios and see the effects of changing variables and parameters in real-time.
