Welcome to iPhysics Sandbox, a simplistic physics sandbox. Depending on your personal setting configuration, its possible to get the iPhysics engine to calculate every little attribute of every little object. Some notable features are that all objects have gravity (accurately proportionate to their mass), water is coherent to itself, and objects have accurately simulated friction based on their surfaces. On lower end systems, its easy to enable optimizations that reduce the threshold for physics calculation to improve performance. However, when set to the highest accuracy setting, each individual object can be have it's attributes customized to highly resemble real world scenarios.

Diversely Configurable

Each setting, object, and attribute can be individually customized by preference.

Saving/Loading

After creating a simulation, you can save and load it as many times as you want. You can even share the individual save files if you like!

Time Scaling

In the case that a simulation happens very quickly, you can change the program's timescale. If something is very fast, simply slow the timescale and watch it in slow motion!

Mobile Camera

The camera can be easily moved throughout the simulation environment with ergonomically placed controls. There are also customizable speed modifiers you can use to change the camera's speed in real time! You can even customize the control buttons themselves.

Integrated Manual

If you have a problem or a question, there's no need to go online to search for information. The entire manual is built right into iPhysics Sandbox!

Small

Due to it's simplistic nature, the program's file size is very small! Depending on your configuration, the app is typically under 65 MB!

Customizable Materials

iPhysics Sandbox allows you to edit an object's properties in order to adjust the simulation to run however you like!

Water Cohesion

In iPhysics Sandbox, water particles cohere to each other. This replicates the way water interacts with itself in real life.

Proportionate Gravity

Every single material in iPhysics Sandbox has accurately simulated gravity. Even though you might not be able to see the effects of the gravity on objects with relatively low mass, with dense materials like neutronium the effects are clear!

Air Pressure

Gaseous and similar materials (such as oxygen or fire) use a simple air pressure algorithm in order to replicate real life physics. Each particle has this algorithm built in, which ensures an accurate simulation.

Lightweight

While more advanced simulations required powerful hardware, the standard physics algorithm is very well refined and is very efficient. iPhysics Sandbox has no problems with simulating the physics of thousands of objects at once on average hardware. If the simulation is too graphics intensive to run normally, you can always use the time-scaling tool to get better results!
