I have no idea where this should go (I know, I should know since I’ve been a member since 2002 and I obviously spend a lot of time here) so I have no problem with it being moved. I am partial to computer based things that make good use of accurate physics. I know there are flash and java apps out there that demonstrate good physics. If you know of any, please post links to them. ---

I think I got this link lurking the Dope years ago. You may have seen it already. [http://www.digipen.edu/main/Game\_Downloads](http://www.digipen.edu/main/Game_Downloads) TONS of student-made games. Some raw experiments, and some very polished games. ---

Jay Is Games is quite possibly the best place to go for online games: > **[None Games at Jayisgames](https://jayisgames.com/tag/physics)** > > We recommend and review the best none games. Since 2003. ---

Is the [NLOS Cannon Challenge](http://dsc.discovery.com/tv/future-weapons/games/cannon/cannon.html) the sort of thing you are looking for, or are you after something a bit more grown-up than a reskinned version of Worms? ---

I had a lot of fun with the [West Point Bridge Design Contest](http://bridgecontest.usma.edu/) in high school. I’m glad to see that it’s still around. ---

Aside from [N](http://www.thewayoftheninja.org/n.html) (thanks, Agent Foxtrot!), [Gish](http://www.chroniclogic.com/index.htm?gish.htm) and [Armadillo Run](http://www.armadillorun.com/demo/) are two of my faves. Oh, and [Crayon Physics](http://www.kloonigames.com/crayon/) 🙂 ---

You may know about this one because there was a fairly extensive thread about it, but I’ve become addicted to [Fantastic Contraption](http://fantasticcontraption.com/). ---

> [@NicePete](#): > > You may know about this one because there was a fairly extensive thread about it, but I’ve become addicted to [Fantastic Contraption](http://fantasticcontraption.com/). That was Contrary’s link and I am just addicted to it. I have no idea what the “right” solution is to most, but I always end up with jumbling piles of sticks that bounce all over the place until they finally reach the goal. Good fun.
