About
The Elements project is all about free and easy 2D physics for python -- with main attention on:
- An easy-to-use, fast 2D physics API
- Examples and documentation on how to use the API
- Providing the examples as bundles, as they are already interesting and fun
- Speed optimization (also with an eye on the XO laptop :)
- Development of ideas for education and playful-learning
- File:Elements.zip | File:Elements.xo | Documentation | Examples | Screenshots | Videos
More Informations
- IRC: #elements on irc.freenode.net
- Project started by Chris Hager, March 2008. Source-Code is GPL licensed - so do with it what you want! Even eat it :)
- The Elements project derived from pymunx, which started as examples for pymunk and is growing up to a real physics api for python
- The 2D physics is handled by the chipmunk physics engine (written in C by ...)
- Communication to the chipmunk library is done via the pymunk ctypes bindings (by Victor Blomqvist.)
- A lively and open development and support team is having fun improving and helping out :)
- Features: fast, easy to use, segments, polygons, circles, colissions, variable gravity, density, mass, friction, elasticity, inertia, impulses, screenshots, screencasts, cross-platform, entertaining, fascinating, ...
- Limitations which will be implemented soon: Joints, Grouped Elements and Non-convex Polygons. Screencast encoding currently works only in linux with mencoder installed.
