Phun is an educational, entertaining and somewhat addictive piece of software for designing and exploring 2D multi-physics simulations in a cartoony fashion.
Alice is an innovative 3D programming environment that makes it easy to create an animation for telling a story, playing an interactive game, or a video to share on the web. Alice is a teaching tool for introductory computing. It uses 3D graphics and a drag-and-drop interface to facilitate a more engaging, less frustrating first programming experience.
I hate to get all Sherlock Holmes on you folks but the article is slightly inaccurate. FTFA... "The Aioi Works of Japan's Diesel United, Ltd built the first engines and is where some of these pictures were taken." This is untrue because if this were actually in Japan then why would there be Korean (Hangul) writing all over the bloody poster boards. In fact this the Doosan Engine factory in Changwon, South Korea and I know that because I was just about hit by a gigantic forklift while is was driving through that very factory this morning. Believe me those engines are big. Though IMHO Hyundai Heavy is much cooler.
