+Algodoo is an interactive 2D [physics](/wiki/physics) sandbox, where users build and explore the world through creation. It offers a playful environment for designing complex machines and observing dynamic [simulation](/wiki/simulation). Originally known as Phun, Algodoo was developed by Algoryx Simulation AB and is widely used for both [education](/wiki/education) and creative experimentation.
+Users can draw and manipulate various objects using a range of tools, including polygons, circles, and planes. The software allows for the assignment of different material properties like density, friction, and restitution, enabling realistic physical interactions. Objects can be connected with hinges, springs, and motors, facilitating the creation of intricate contraptions. The environment also supports fluid [dynamics](/wiki/dynamics) with water simulation and gravity manipulation.
+Beyond simple object manipulation, Algodoo includes a powerful scripting language called Thyme. This allows users to programmatically control objects, create custom behaviors, and automate complex processes, expanding the possibilities for advanced [simulation](/wiki/simulation) and interactive designs.
+Algodoo is particularly valued in [STEM education](/wiki/stem_education) for its ability to visualize complex physics concepts. Students can experiment with forces, motion, and energy in a hands-on manner, fostering a deeper understanding of scientific principles. It also serves as a creative tool for artists, designers, and hobbyists to prototype ideas and build imaginative [digital art](/wiki/digital_art) and Rube Goldberg-style machines.
