it's been a while since a piece of software made my jaw drop. Phun, described by it's creators as "a 2D physics sandbox" was developed as a Master of Science thesis by Emil Ernerfeldt at the VRLab at Umeå University. Watch the video above and download the software here.

I took a few hours this evening to whip up a tool for Phun users. For those you you that haven't tried Phun yet, it's a sandbox physics simulator/game written by Emil Ernerfeldt for his Masters thesis.
The tool overcomes a few of Phun's shortcomings, namely the ability to draw straight lines and complex symmetric shapes, and is called the Phun Gear Creator.
