Let's have some physics phun!

It's a pretty awesome 2d physics sandbox. A gameplay video can be found here.

Totally cool. Very LittleBigPlanet, minus the polish.

I found the video the day it came out and couldn't wait to try it out....where it utterly failed to run. Work, too. Yes, even the newer version. I think your computer needs to be no more than 5 minutes old to run this.

DU: Mine's about two years old and I've been messing around with it for the last half-hour or so. It's probably just your computer.

To be fair, my computer is more like 5 years old. I've got the site bookmarked for when I upgrade in the next few months. Fingers crossed!

Dude needs to hang Lua off it so we can go nuts making games. Please, God, no more home-grown scripting languages.

It's not too difficult to graft Lua onto a physics engine; I'm currently working on a Lua + Box2d combination and it's been fairly painless.

Great physics engine.

This is fantastic. I absolutely love physics toys like this, and this is the best I've seen so far.

Is the source code going to be released? I'm planning on it, yes, but I haven't decided on a license or set a date yet.

Damnit, I installed it, and it's crashing when I start it up. :(

Oh! Those who are having trouble, did you install vcredist first? You have to install it to run Phun.

that video is amazing, but slightly disheartening!

It was crashing on startup for me, too, (with vcredist installed). This fix in the FAQ made it work for me: - Delete the Shaders folder under Phun/Data/ I guess my graphics card doesn't support shaders or something. But it ran fine (if a bit slowly on my 1.6GHz Turion) after I did that.

This is pretty ace. Though it could really use a cutting tool of some kind to help make nice shapes. Also the pieces fall into each other too in an impossible way too easily. I've been trying to make my own hinges/springs from rigid parts/bonds (it's like science yeah?).
