Hi,
Just wanted to chip in with a thought of a simpler activity sim type
that could be a low hanging fruit to port or code for the XO. I do
love the idea of 'crayon physics' and all the other physics sim
spinoffs that are all the fashion just now, but a lot of fun/
exploration can be had with some the old school sandbox type
simulations. Some of the examples at the below URL are way over
developed/cluttered (too many material types, unnecessary additions
etc), but a more careful design would make a good, single and multi
user sharable activity:

Regards,
Gary
P.S. I'm really tempted to pick this one up, but I've only just made
my first activity port 'Moon' and I was planning to move onto 'Earth'
as a worthy follow up with more educational possibilities as an
activity. Hmmmm...
