Friday Flash Fun: Magic Pen

April 18th, 2008

Magic Pen

I’ve been keeping an eye on ‘real physics’ games for a while, but Magic Pen by Alejandro Guillen is the first that really scores on all levels of interactivity, design, and entertainment. The premise is simple enough – get the ball to the flag. To do this you’ll need to use you magic pen to draw ramps, weights and levers to engineer a solution. Although the level design is fairly simple, the fun is in seeing how convoluted a machine you can build.

    Wow – that is truly fantastic! I’m going to recommend it to some teacher friends – would be a brilliant way of teaching kids about momentum, gravity, etc.

    Wow, I really like that. Would be great on an Interactive whiteboard in class. I’ll pass that link on (and blog a link to here)

    Have you played with Phun yet?
