If I was to tell you Phun is a 2D physics sandbox designed teach you about concepts such as restitution and friction, your eyes would probably start to glaze over. Before they do, check out this video to get a flavour of a great new desktop distraction...



Phun began life as a Master of Science Thesis by Computing Science student Emil Ernerfeldt and seems to have taken on a life of its own. (Just type "Phun" in YouTube's Search to see what people have been doing with it!)

The download -- also available for Windows with a Mac version on the way -- is a modest 2.5MB and comes with a few pre-built Phun scenes under File / Load Scene. Of course you're going to want to build your own, so take a look at this page of the wiki for a quick backgrounder on how to fully utilise the tools. And have phun!
