    That'd be very fun to play with in class or at home.

    I'd still HATE physics class, though. There's no getting around that.

    Anyone know the name of the software? Having worked for school IT I'm sure that they'd be interested in it. Definately an awesome bit of software.

    Schools aside, imagine what game developer Artists could do.

    Artists might be great for this and that, but rarely are they also good at programming. A simple interface such as this could bridge the gap and promote closer cooperation between coders and artists.

    Microsoft has a physics illustrator similar to this.

    I've been messing around with it for a while now on my tablet and it's pretty fun.

    the magic link between the PC and the software is the special board and pen really.
