Algodoo: 2D Physics Sandbox Simulation

Algodoo is a 2D physics sandbox simulation software where users can create models and experiments using simple shapes, joints, motors and forces. It helps visualize and understand physics concepts in an engaging way.

What is Algodoo?

Algodoo is a 2D physics sandbox simulation software designed primarily for educational purposes. It allows users to easily create models and experiments by adding simple shapes, joints, motors and adjusting forces like gravity, magnetism, air resistance etc.

Some key features of Algodoo include:

• Intuitive drag-and-drop interface to set up simulations quickly
• Extensive physics engine that realistically simulates motions and interactions
• Tools to draw basic shapes, add joints and connectors, attach motors and forces
• Options to add background images and export animations
• Support for student and teacher accounts

Algodoo makes it easy to visualize and understand physics concepts like forces, momentum, energy, oscillations, collisions etc. in an engaging way. Educators use it to demonstrate physics experiments in classrooms. Students can use it build and test prototype models . It promotes inquiry-based science education through experiential learning.

Algodoo is cross-platform and works on Windows, Mac, Chrome OS, Linux, Android and iOS devices. The software is freemium, with limited features available for free while advanced functionality requires paid licenses. It offers individual licenses as well as site and district licenses suitable for schools.
