WiiPhysics is a physics playground for the Wii, much like Crayon Physics or PocketPhysics. It uses Box2D and libwiisprite.

Features

• Scrollable worlds.
• Camera mapping.
• And much much more.

User guide

Physics Tools Overview

Tools Overview:

• Select - Use this tool to select objects, hold A to drag them around, hold A on an object and press B to toggle static/dynamic.
• Pen Tool - Hold A and draw a line with the pen. When you release A the ends of the line join up to form a shape.
• Circle Tool - Press A to place a circle. Use + and - to increase/decrease the size.
• Square Tool - Press A to place a square. Use + and - to increase/decrease the size.
• Clear Screen (Bomb) - Clear everything. Useful to make some space, or when things start to lag.
• Undo - Undo the previous action.

Joints:

• Rope Joint - Connect two objects by a rope.
• Click on two Objects to connect them.
• PinJoint - Create a rotation joint using 2 objects.
• Single Click on on an object(s) to set up a rotation relationship.
  • Clicking on a single object pins it to the screen. Clicking on two items stacked up pins those objects together (e.g. Ragdolls)).
• Pulley Joint = Click on three objects to set up a pulley system.
• 2nd object is the pulley anchor.
• Prismatic Joint = Click on two points to set up a slider joint.
• Weld Joint = Click on two objects to weld them together.

Object Control:

• Mobile Objects - Select this to place dynamic objects which move and obey gravity.
• Frozen Objects - Select this to place static objects which stay where you place them.

Sim Control:

• Run - Run the simulation.
• Stop - Freeze/pause the simulation. You should pause to place dynamic objects where you want them.

Controls

See in-game help for controls.
