About:
Algodoo is a physics simulation software that allows users to create and interact with 2D physical systems in a virtual environment. It provides a sandbox for experimenting with mechanics, fluids, and forces using intuitive drawing tools. The software is designed for educational purposes, creative exploration, and prototyping physical concepts.
Key Features:
  • Real-time 2D physics engine with support for rigid bodies, fluids, and springs
  • Interactive drawing tools for creating scenes and objects
  • Scripting capabilities for custom behaviors and complex simulations
  • Educational features like measurement tools and physics visualization
Use Cases:
  • Physics education and classroom demonstrations
  • Prototyping mechanical systems and engineering concepts
  • Creative sandbox for game design and artistic physics simulations
Alternatives:
  • Phun – Earlier version of Algodoo with similar 2D physics sandbox functionality
  • Box2D – Open-source physics engine requiring programming, more suited for developers
