Application Description

Educational and fun! Create wood block models with a cutting-edge physics and 3d engine. Play blocks in Earth gravity, or maybe switch to any other Solar System planet’s gravity and see how it would be like playing blocks there…

Note: Not for toddlers. This app is more suitable for late primary school upwards kids as it requires complex reasoning, attention to detail and eventually some degree of patience!

Features:

- Build block models in a realistic 3D world with cutting edge physics engine;
- Share your models with your friends through the built in email share functionality;
- Use a range of finger gestures and tools to orbit and pan around your model, move and rotate blocks;
- Copy and paste blocks to easily compose complex models.
- Gravity tweak: New in-scene real time gravity tweak! Play blocks in Earth (-9.8 m/s²), Jupiter (-24.7 m/s²), at Zero gravity, or maybe see what happens if you try to apply the Sun super gravity of -274.00 m/s²… That’s a very fun way to learn the implications of the forces in our Solar System!
- Kinematics: Combined with the gravity, you now also have the ability to ‘throw’ blocks and see the behavior given different force intensities you apply to the objects… Analyze the implications of the collisions on your beautiful blocks towers!

Educational Outcome:

- Spatial reasoning development;
- Start understanding the Computer-aided design (CAD) concept through the use of perspective and orthographic views;
- Understand the implications of the forces of the universe in a fun way: Play with gravity and throw blocks given a force and observe the dynamics of the kinematics (v1.1.0 or higher).
- Be creative: There are structures that will only work at Earth’s gravity if they are built on Zero gravity!
- Have fun: Learning is fun!
