Box2D Bouncy Things Toy

This is a simple toy that lets you see how easy it is to get started with Box2D. The next few code demos will drill down into Box2D more deeply, so don't be concerned if you don't fully understand all of the code here. This code demo does not have sound.

Keyboard Controls

The space bar drops a large number of balls and boxes that you can watch fall to the bottom of the screen and bounce around in a most satisfactory manner. This will work until the window is approximately full. Backspace clears all of the balls and boxes so that you can try again.
