Excellent. It even has physics awareness down to the pixel level. The mishapen blocks the person creates at the very beginning show this feature very well.
I would say this would be a great tool for parents to play with their kids on the computer with, or for a teacher to illustrate to a class of either grade school or high schoolers.
There's probably a fair amount of messing around involved with learning the interface to be able to use it this smoothly, but after that it has a lot of use from my perspective.
I have heard nothing but praise for this product: easy to learn, real-time graphics with pause mode and recording available, and generally just great potential.
It's not just kids who will be staying up late for some phun...
By the way, Tony, this is an excellent example of visual thinking applied to learning. There are many other ways visual thinking applies to learning as well, but this is a great example. For similar videos, search YouTube for Crayon Physics.
