About SimplePhysics
SimplePhysics lets you design complex structures for everything from tree houses to ferris wheels and then simulates your design with a sophisticated physics engine.
A wise person once said: "An engineer is someone who can do for a dime what any fool can do for a dollar." In SimplePhysics, your design must not only be strong enough, it must be cheap enough to win.
Create your design in seconds with the blueprints editor. If you make a mistake, simply tap the Undo button. Zoom in and out by pinching the screen and pan the view using a two finger drag.
While testing, you can see how the strain is distributed across your design. Areas that are under immense strain are colored bright red, while other areas are colored green. This allows you to find and fix problem areas in your design.
The finger test lets you use your finger to push and pull on your design. You can use this with pinpoint accuracy, or you can just smash your design to smithereens. The finger test has an explosive new twist. You can now create explosions by tapping the screen for ultimate annihilation.
The newly added Bomb Shack level includes a dummy with full support for ragdoll physics. Throw him around, blow him up, and smash him against your design.
The slow motion feature lets you slow things down so you can see how your design is failing, and it is also incredibly fun to watch explosions destroying your design in slow motion.
Features
* Realistic physics simulation
* Ragdoll physics
* Slow motion mode
* Stress display shows problem areas in your design
* Wide variety of levels!
* Finger Test - smash your design to pieces, or blow it up with realistic explosions!
* Save/Load designs
* E-mail your blueprints to your friends
* Universal support for the iPad

* Added the Submarine level where you must build a submarine that can reach a depth of 300 feet.
* Added 3 tiers of difficulty to each level, ranging from 1 star to 3 stars. In order to get all 3 stars, you will have to be excessively clever!
* Fixed the physics on the Crane level.
* If SimplePhysics crashes after installing this update, try restarting your device. If that does not work, try uninstalling SimplePhysics, and re-download it. Don't worry, you won't have to pay for it again!

1.7.1
May 19, 2011
Since the 1.7.1 update rolled out so quickly after 1.7, I've included the changes for 1.7 in this description also.
Changes in v1.7.1
* Bug fixes
Changes in v1.7
HUGE UPDATE! Four Huge New Features!
* New Level - Bomb Shack
Protect the crash test dummy from explosions by building a structure to withstand explosions!
* Ragdoll Physics
The new crash test dummy in the Bomb Shack level fully supports ragdoll physics, so make sure you run the Finger Test on the new level and toss him around!
* Explosion Test
The Finger Test has an explosive new twist. Now you can tap the screen to create explosions in the Finger Test and obliterate your structure. I have painstakingly gone back through all previous levels and added this feature, so now you can blow up all levels. It's a....blast.
* Slow Motion
New feature to enter slow motion while running a test. This is a great way to see where your structure is failing, and it's also fun to watch explosions in slow motion, especially when it sends the crash test dummy flying through the air.
Remember, if you have an idea for the game, please submit it at my uservoice page. Let's build a game together ;)

I take this page very seriously, in fact the new Truck Crane level was the top voted idea at my uservoice page, and that is why I chose to implement it.
