Play - A summer of code project

This wiki page is about a summer of code project proposed by Erik Beerepoot. The mailing list entry is here A pdf version of this proposal is also available at my website

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.
