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

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 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.

See in-game help for controls.

2008/08/31

+Added Weld Joint.
+Added a second player (with limited capability).
- (Second player can drag, toss, freeze, unfreeze shapes).
+Fixed Jumping of pen drawn shapes on create.
+Fixed placement of pin (proper pin joints now).
+Added realistic grass.
+Fixed bugs and crashes. (Specficially related to pully).
+Restructured backend data management system.
+Fixed pointer detection for selecting rectangles.
+Added Support Button.
+Increased Object Limits.

2008/08/27

+Added fully scrollable world with ground.
- up, down, left, right to pan (Or just move the pointer to the edge of the screen).
+Added minimap for scrolling around world.
+Added ability to fix camera to an object for easy following around world.
- Hit 1 on any object to attach camera (works best on circles and squares).
- (To detach, just hit 1 anywhere on the screen).
+Added sky, with dynamic clouds.
- (You now know when you are in freeze b/c the clouds stop moving).
+Fixed jumping of rectangles on draw.
+Lots of bug fixes.

2008/08/25

+Added pen joint for moving dynamic objects.
- -You can now "Throw" objects.
+Added distinction between objects that are frozen and mobile to make it obvious to the user whats frozen.
+Fixed some bugs (Including crash from drawing small boxes).
+Keep objects from jumping when you select them.
+Improved intro screen.
+increased pen draw size.
+Started on framework for zoomable worlds.
