This is a very cool technological object, a "gadget" if you will. Why, it may be the best "gadget" I've seen all week! Lo, if there were only a "Gadget of the Week" section of this blog where you could share things like this with the world.
Here's another one. Phun is a bit more open concept than crayon physics. I never thought I'd be able to post this sort of thing on this blog, but if you take a look at the related videos, there are some bizarre creations in there.
I got excited when I first saw Crayon Physics, but it doesn't actually play very well. The physics are wonky and the occasional auto-shaping is jarring. As Justin said, try out the program Phun. It's not a game with a set goal, but you can make up your own. Try making a good Rube Goldberg device, or a working and detailed vehicle.
Eerily moving too. And astonishing. One of the wittiest things I have seen in a long time. Where can we get some more?
Very cool. I want it.
If you want a version of the game for the PC (or PC emulator on the Mac), go to:

Lots of fun.
He's using open source physics and sound libraries too, for the creative commons types out there.
It's a game. Coming out eventually. There's a more basic demo available now.

At least we've demonstrated that your readership is google literate. Sheesh. Last time I think I can beat anybody to the punch googling something.
