Two violent physics simulations in one day?
A friend just pointed me to a post by
David Pogue at The New York Times in which he describes
Line Rider, an online applet that allows you draw (potentially dangerous) terrains that a little sledder proceeds to cruise along (potentially fatally), subject only to the law of gravity. Oddly enough,
Seed magazine’s “Daily Zeitgeist” for today linked to
a video on YouTube that also uses physics simulators for nefarious ends.
It’s about time we brought some humanity to an otherwise abstract science!
