Play - A summer of code project

Introduction
This summer of code project proposes to extend Elements, a python wrapper around a 2D physics engine called box2d. After extending elements & writing extensive documentation for use with the XO laptop, I will use it to create a physics educational tool called "Play!" - for Physical science Learning And Discovery. "Play!" will provide an intuitive interface for kids to learn elementary physics concepts like Gravity, Projectile motion, Angular motion, and more.
Detailed Description
This project consists of three main parts:
- Extend the elements API
- Document the element API
- Write "Play!"
