Physion
Physion is a 2D Physics simulation software. It can be used to easily create a wide range of interactive physics simulations and educational experiments. Teachers may find it particularly useful since it can be used as a virtual physics laboratory through which they can demonstrate some basic physics concepts in the classroom.
The user, using the tools of Physion, can create various physical objects (circles, polygons, gears, etc.) and joints (eg. springs, pulleys etc.) that obey the laws of Physics. This way the user can experiment by creating various scenes/scenarios which can be either simple physics experiments or complex structures/mechanisms.
Physion also allows the users to execute their own scripts/programs in JavaScript. This way Physion can be a nice and friendly tool for introduction to programming since the results of the commands are immediately visualised.
Physion has been translated into the following languages: English, Greek, Russian, Japanese, German, Spanish and Indonesian.
