Phun
March 8th, 2008 — BoomerBeing interested in physics in games, I often visit the Fun Motion website, seeing if there is any new posts and visiting the forums. Through that website, I found a fun little game called Phun. It’s a physics sandbox in which you can create squares, circles, chains, springs, or just draw free form. Unfortunately, I find it difficult to actually come up with anything when given no limits, however, there are people who can make cool simulations using this program.
One of the things that I find coolest however, is that you can liquefy anything. Draw a shape, right click, then Liquefy! You can make a container with water, let it fall down onto a watermill, make the turning force move a block back and forth, release a ball every time it moves back, and let it splash into water. The creator made a couple of scenes which you can load up, such as a tower which you can fire at with catapult. For creative people, there is a lot you can do in this. A pretty good interface, as well as clean looking visuals, and all the details that are put into the game is what helps it really shine out, and is one of the most Phun physics game I have ever played.
