The Elements project is all about free and easy 2D physics -- with main attention on:

  1. An easy-to-use 2D Physics API for Python
  2. Examples and Documentation on how to use the API
  3. Speed (also for the XO Laptop)
  4. Development of ideas for education and playful-learning


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 :)
