Pymunk Physics Engine - Stacks of Boxes

This uses the Pymunk physics engine to manage stacks of boxes. The user can interact with the boxes using the mouse.

pymunk_box_stacks.py

"""
Use Pymunk physics engine.

For more info on Pymunk see:
http://www.pymunk.org/en/latest/

To install pymunk:
pip install pymunk

Artwork from http://kenney.nl

If Python and Arcade are installed, this example can be run from the command line with:
python -m arcade.examples.pymunk_box_stacks

Click and drag with the mouse to move the boxes.
