Having Phun with Physics Simulations

May 12th, 2008 No comments

A couple weeks ago I stumbled on Phun, a Physics simulator built by Emil Ernerfeldt for his thesis project.

Phun acts as a physics playground. Inside Phun you can setup simulations and run them with all sorts of variables, such as gravity and air friction.

Phun even supports water! While it is a little rough around the edges, Phun is extremely–well…fun!

If I had this in school I probably would have done much better in Physics. At least I would have been more entertained.

Here’s a quick demo I put together showing a couple different simulations.
