Fun with Physics!
Wait, don't run away - there's no MATH involved.

What you do is draw shit in the green box, and the program applies a 2d analogue of physical laws to it.

Things I've done:

-Created a bowl and dropped little "cherries" into it.
-Made a fulcrum (triangle) and lever (straight line), dropped a small object on one end and a large object on the other. Whee!
-Made irregular shapes slide down an inclined plane and pile up at the bottom.

It's cool. And slightly more useful than the virtual toilet paper roll.
