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.

Physion is available for both Windows (win32) and Linux (32bit and 64bit), it is 100% free and you can http://physion.net/en/downloads" .

Feedback and suggestions are more than welcome.

Thank you

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?
