Algodoo v1.8.0 (by Algoryx Simulation)

Компьютерная игра-симулятор физики в виде "песочницы". Представляет собой графический анимационный редактор, основанный на технологии XML, который позволяет создавать объекты «на лету» - они сразу начинают подчиняться законам физики.
Algodoo - второе рождение симулятора Phun, который разрабатывался шведским студентом Эмилем Эрнерфельдтом в рамках его работы на получение титула магистра наук при факультете информатики университета Умео. Сейчас права на разработку и распространение игры принадлежат фирме Algoryx Simulation, основанной сотрудниками факультета.

Long awaited, following the immense popularity of Emil Ernerfeldt's Phun 2D Physics Sandbox, we proudly present Algodoo!
Algodoo is a 2D-simulation environment for creating interactive scenes in a playful, cartoony manner, making use of the physics that we use to explain our real world. Algodoo is designed to encourage young people’s own creativity, ability and motivation to construct knowledge. The synergy of science and art makes Algodoo as educational as it is entertaining. Algodoo applies a constructionistic learning paradigm - learning by designing, constructing and exploring physical systems.
Algodoo is optimized for the Intel-powered convertible classmate PC. It utilizes the webcam to create physical models from live photos, the touch screen and digital pen input for drawing objects, and the accelerometer for virtual experiments and very direct interaction with the physical simulation. Young kids can use Algodoo for drawing and the physics make their drawings come to life. From this they can learn fundamental things about physics such as motion, forces, mass and density. Older kids can construct virtual experiments that illustrate the fundamental laws of physics such as conservation of energy and momentum. They can also build advanced and innovative machines or create an animation to tell a story.

Simulations are created using simple drawing tools and the user can interact with the simulation by click, drag, tilt and shake. Color traces, force and velocity vectors can be used to enhance visualization. Algodoo comes with models for rigid bodies, fluids, chains, gears, gravity, contacts, friction, restitution, springs, hinges, lock, motors, laser rays and optics, and utilizes novel simulation technologies and high performance numerical methods developed in the professional simulation products of Algoryx Simulation and based on academic research at Umeå university.

Algodoo is derived from Algoryx' precursor product Phun, which was made freely available for non-commercial use during the beta testing period. Phun has been a tremendous success and has generated 1.3 million downloads, over 13.000 user provided scenes, and thousands of entertaining video clips on YouTube. Among its users are kids, students, animators, teachers and science centers. The concept is off-spring from research at Umeå University, where Emil Ernerfeldt developed the first version in his MSc project at the Department of Computing Science, supervised by Kenneth Bodin at the High Performance Computing Center North.

“I wanted to create an application that brings out the creativity in people, and where anyone can implement their ideas quickly and easily,” says Emil Ernerfeldt, now lead programmer of Phun and Algodoo at Algoryx.

“A dream come true is a tool that builds upon children’s own creativity, ability and motivation to learn. What we perhaps didn’t expect was that Algodoo also would bring out the child in all the rest of us! The Intel-powered classmate PC is a very exciting platform for us to work on, both for its ruggedness and its performance and features, but even more for its business model. We believe the Intel-powered classmate PC can facilitate development of new applications in education, just like the impact the game consoles has for the entertainment sphere. This creates a new exciting market, and in the end this is very beneficial for education,” says Kenneth Bodin, CEO and co-founder of Algoryx.

“We are excited to see Algoryx utilizing hardware features of the Intel-powered convertible classmate PC design, such as the camera, touch screen and accelerometer, to make learning physics fun. Intel works with Algoryx through the Intel® Learning Series, an initiative that supports developers in designing education specific applications for the Intel-powered classmate PC. Algodoo is a great example of how members of the Intel Learning Series alliance can develop engaging and rewarding education experience for students using the Intel-powered classmate PC," says Eugene Hsu, Director of Ecosystem Enabling, Emerging Market Product Group at Intel.

Algodoo originates from "Phun 2D Physics Sandbox", which was created by Emil Ernerfeldt in his computing science MSc project at Umeå university.

Features:
• Functionality: create and edit scenes using simple drawing tools, save and load scenes, start and stop simulation, interact with simulation by click, drag, tilt and shake. Add color traces, force and velocity vectors for enhanced visualization.
• Physics: rigid bodies, fluids, chains, gears, gravity, contacts, friction, restitution, springs, hinges, lock, motors, light rays, optics.
• User community: Algodoo has a large and active community where you can exchange your created scenes and simulation videos. Among the users are youths, animators, teachers and science centers.
• Portal: The algodoo.com portal is a wiki and thus enables educators to efficiently exchange ideas, lectures and scenes.
• Methods: Algodoo is based on the latest technologies for interactive multiphysics simulation, including variational mechanical integrators and high performance numerical methods.

Changelog: === Algodoo 1.8.0, 2010-09-16 ===
* Tab-completion and search (/) in console now shows information about suggestions (value, default, description).
* Better choice of default resolution when starting Algodoo.
* Fixed missing "Eraser" checkbox from brush tool menu.
* Fixed problem with laser pen tool and snapping.
* Better looking thin polygons while drawing with brush tool.
* Changed scaling factors (App.scalePow*) so as to ensure same behavior when scaling uniformly, given no external forces.
* Changed force and velocity arrow scales to be of more natural units (m/N and m/(m/s)=s respectively)
* Improved plane sketch recognition.
* Fixed minor issue when setting negative speed for a group of glued geometries.
* Made the text in the information window (under the context menu) selectable for easy copying of values.
* Fixed issue with cutting an object remotely glued to another.
* Fixed undo for color sliders.
* Fixed problem where tracer head would not draw, or draw with wrong color.
* Fixed gear-tool not creating a group.
* Fixed bug where entering a slider value with the keyboard would sometimes not do anything, and/or not be undoable.
* Console now keeps command history between runs.
* Fixed some fonts sometimes missing cursor for empty text boxes.
* Fixed "Random Color(s)" always picking a color from palette, even for color sliders which didn't affect entities.
* Enabled throwing with clone tool.
* Fixed issue with logfile sometimes not being written if Algodoo crashed (which is exactly when you want it to be written).
* Fixed issue with showing plot for spring.
* The hinge sketch now works like the hinge tool, in that it splits glued bodies.
* Fixed units for some plot derivates.
