Phun Algodoo !!top!! -

Algodoo (formerly known as ) is a sandbox-style 2D physics simulator developed by Algoryx Simulation AB. Originally released as a university project called "Phun" in 2008, it evolved into a professional educational and entertainment tool. Software Overview

If you are looking to create or find a "good story" within the software, creators typically focus on: Machine Building: phun algodoo

Here's a short text explaining them:

  1. Select the Axis/Hinge Tool.
  2. Click on an object, or where two objects overlap.
  3. If you click a single object: It pins that object to the background. It can rotate, but won't fall.
  4. If you click where two objects overlap: It joins them together at that point.

Key features to explore

  • Material editor: Assign density, friction, restitution (bounciness), and visual properties to objects.
  • Joints and constraints: Hinges, sliders, springs, and motors let you craft mechanisms and moving machines.
  • Fluid simulation: Simple fluid-like behavior enables buoyancy experiments and creative effects.
  • Sensors & logic: Use sensors and simple scripting to trigger events or measure quantities.
  • Light & optics: Simulate rays and reflections for basic optics demos.
  • Recording & sharing: Capture simulations, export images or videos, and share scenes with the community.
