Crayon Physics |
Crayon Physics : Zipped (compressed) file (5913.4k)

This is a free piece of software that encourages children to think about different solutions to the problem of moving a crayon ball to meet and collect a star. There are five different levels, each with more difficult obstacles than the last. Click here to download.

To use, download the zip file, create a suitable folder on your hard drive and extract the zip file to this folder. Run the "crayon.exe" file from the folder that you have created to start the program (you could create a shortcut on your desktop if you like). Tested on Windows XP only.

The aim of the game is to move the red ball so that it collects the stars. You can influence the red ball by drawing objects that can be dropped to nudge or support the ball. With left mouse button you can draw and with right you can remove objects. Space - Will reset the level. Esc - Will open the menu.
