I’ve been playing around with a couple of tools I found on John Nack’s blog the last few days. Both are physics based drawing tools.

The first is called Phun. It was developed for Umeå University’s (Sweden) new science center and uses an Illustrator type menu. You draw 2D objects that interact in a gravity and physics based fashion. It gives quite a bit of control over the environment and is quite addicting. I’ve probably spent more time than I should tinkering around with it all.

The second is very similar, except it is goal oriented. You draw objects to help your character (a ball) reach the star on screen. It is called Crayon Physics Deluxe.

Note to self: Buy Wacom tablet….
