Soda Play Constructor


Some may remember this site from long ago!
Soda Constructor is the Java based physics engine, central to Soda Creative's collaborative learning environment Sodaplay.com. It was created by Ed Burton, Soda's Research and development Director, in April 2000 and won an Interactive Arts BAFTA Award in 2001.


With the Soda Constructor users create and share "models". These models are made of "masses" and "springs" and follow strict physical laws. By turning springs into "muscles", models can be animated and made very lifelike.


At times it can be very frustrating...but fun once you get the hang of it!
