Free Physics-Based Simulation Software for Personal Computers

Have you ever wanted to watch your digital creations interact with one another within a real-time virtual environment? This program provides a quick and simple means to do so.

A Perfect Application for Beginners

Phun is a software application which allows users to combine different graphical elements such as polygons and create virtual “machines”. It is a great alternative to more complicated (and costly) platforms such as Bullet and COMSOL Multiphysics; ideal for those who are looking for a trimmed-down version. This game combines gravity, power and acceleration to accurately reproduce how items would interact with one another in a real-world environment. Most of the objects consist of squares, rectangles and circles.

Great for Those Learning About Physics-Based Sandboxes

While Phun is a highly interactive platform, it offers a very user-friendly feel. There are a number of options such as rotating a shape, adding “springs” to a design or fixing a specific element in place. It is also possible to choose from a number of existing templates to encounter even more shapes. This software is free to use and no license is required.
