Build robots, spaceships, clocks, catapults or cannons.Īdd sensors, timers, switches, motors. Golems, Yet another rigid body physics simulator similar to Incredibots, except in 3D. Standalone version (has a small glitch, disable sound to make it work) Even then it can do lots of things from creating Tanks to Transfomers, its fun and lightweight even though Incredibots 3 was never finished. Incredibots 2 Another well known 2D rigid body sandbox simulator similar to but more simpler than Algodoo/Phun. Interact by click and drag, tilt and shake. Well, now Algodoo is now free, so you can just get that and simulate everything from a gun to a carīuild and play with rigid bodies, fluids, chains, gears, gravity, friction, springs, hinges, etc. Both were able to simulate 2D rigid body physics and are quite powerful, with Phun being more limited than Algodoo. The powder Toy, probably one of the most well known on this list, the powder toy allows you to simulate a wide variety of substances from solids to gases and is probably the only one I know to rival OE-Cake in terms of the sheer number of substances available to simulate, but of course OE-cake, still has the upper advantage when in comes to the quality of the simulations.Īlgodoo, Algodoo was the commercial version of the free product called Phun. PhysicDraw, a simple program where you have a number of markers, each having a special property like ice or motor, with them you can create some interesting things. Laputan Blueprints, created as the successor to Rigidchips, Laputan Blueprints had a different UI and could make a variety of vehicles and contraptions, sadly like RigidChips its no longer in development. There are more advanced features that can be made but they needed learning some LUA programming to get working. You will need the RigidChips Designer, if you want to try making them yourself. Rigidchips: This well known at one time program was great at creating vehicles and planes as well as boats using chips. The power of this program is its ability to create all sorts of Rube Goldberg machines. Souptoys Toybox: a virtual children's toybox, fill with a variety of 'toys'. The toolkit allowed children to construct digital mobile creatures known as "Zooks", which compete in a variety of computer-generated games. Also I am only focusing on windows based programs, some might work on other platforms but you will have to see if they exist or not.īamzooki (styled as BAMZOOKi) is a British children's television game show, which features a computer-generated toolkit developed by Gameware Development. Note a number of these programs are no longer in development, so they may or may not work in the version of Windows you may be using. I thought I might as well add them here in the hopes that not only will you find them useful but to use them for things like making animations or even in the education sector for schools, hey you never know. And since this is a dying category, ie Desktop based physics sandbox games, (especially free). HI folks, after finding this sub I realized that I have a number of links to physics sandbox games that might be useful to you guys.
