Newton Figure 11 Figure 11 shows the Newton screen. The glass vase is selected and assigned the "Static" type. In Figure 12, I've selected all of the individual balls and assigned them the "Dynamic" property. Notice that there are controls for Gravity magnitude and direction, controls for linear and angular velocity, controls for object properties such as "bounciness" and friction, and more. You can set up the parameters for your world, and the objects in your world will behave accordingly. Again, realworld physics applied to a 2D space. The possibilities seem endless, and the simplicity of achieving realistic results is eye-popping. If Newton were a girl, I'd be tempted to marry her. One more simple project from the Samples folder. Figures 13 through 15 show a blocky "space ship" moving across the screen, dropping diamond
