Physics Sandbox

[Jay Shaffstall]

I found Thonny while looking for an IDE to use with a physics sandbox I was writing.  The idea is to give intro programming students an easy to use 2d physics engine so they can create interesting simulations.   I've just released the first version of the sandbox.  It's completely free and installs nicely on Thonny using the system console.

Here's the site: https://github.com/jshaffstall/PyPhysicsSandbox

With Thonny installed the Python 3.5 dependency is taken care of, so just open the system console and install using:  pip install pyPhysicsSandbox

Sounds cool!

Unfortunately I'm not able to run your first example at https://github.com/jshaffstall/PyPhysicsSandbox. Looks like import should be from "pyphysicssandbox" instead of "pyPhysicsSandbox". After changing this I got error about missing "py2d". I was able to install this with pip, but then I got error about missing "vecmath" and I don't know how to fix this.

Best regards
Aivar

There was mistake in my previous post -- "py2d" came with PyPhysicsSandbox but the error was about missing "py2d.Math".

Looks like a problem with the setup.  I needed to specifically say I wanted py2d.Math installed, even thought it's inside py2d.  If you pip uninstall pyphysicssandbox and then reinstall, you should get the new version.  Not sure if you need to clear your pip cache or not first.

Thanks for the heads up!

Now I got it running. Good work! You should consider promoting it in Python Edu SIG (https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/edu-sig). But first you should update another thing in the README example -- looks like "poly" has to be renamed to "polygon" ;)

Thanks for that catch, too!  I updated that and will post on the sig.
