[Edu-sig] Python Physics Sandbox released

[Eric Matthes]

Hi,

This looks great, and I hadn't seen pymunk before. I tried a quick
simulation, and it's working:

import pyphysicssandbox as ps
ps.window("ball", 600, 400)

b1 = ps.ball((100, 0), 30)
ps.run()

How do I give the ball a horizontal velocity?

Eric
