-About–

Physify is a 2D physics sandbox (with a decent amount of the features from Phun). I’m extremely close to submitting this to Apple, but as to whether or not they approve it is up to them. I’m using Chipmunk Physics to simulate the physics (works great on the iPhone/iPod Touch). Current tools include:

Square – draws a square, plain and simple.
Circle – draws a circle based on the radius.
Segment (static) – draws a line with a radius that you can modify in the settings.
Polygon – “freeform drawing” draws a polygon (only convex polygons are supported for the time being).
Joints – (current: Pin, Pivot; might add spring and motor before release).
Clone – create an exact copy of a shape or group of shapes (selection compatible).
Eraser – erase an individual object or group of objects (selection compatible).
Grab – toss around shapes (much like Phun drag tool).
Position – manually move shapes or group of shape without physics interfering (selection compatible).
Rotation – rotate a single shape or group of shapes (selection compatible).
Lasso – draws a polygon around shapes you want to select.
Camera – pan around scene or zoom in and out.
Follow – place object in the center of the screen and follows it.

Physify – 2D Physics Sandbox

–Features–

1. All of the above tools.
2. Play / Pause
3. Pre-made scenes and physlets
4. Adjustable gravity; ability to react to accelerometer
5. Settings menu for altering tool properties (friction, elasticity, etc)
6. Save / Load menu for saving and loading Scenes and Physlets (Saved entities, much like phunlets).
7. Information and instructions for using each tool in the settings.

–Quick Information–

Physify will be put on the app store for $1.99. As you can see in the second screen shot, I’m lacking some decent physlets and scenes. If have an iPhone and would like to help me build some physlets and/or scenes, I’ll provide you with a distribution build. Send me an email at nprof (AT) homebrewheaven.net if you’d like to help or would like to discuss more about the game. I’d really appreciate the help, I’m not the best at creating neat contraptions at all . I’ll post a list of future plans later, because time isn’t really on my side right now.

I am taking request for tools, but please be reasonable.
