Anyone heard of this little freeware physics program called Phun?

Watch the little movie - it's so cool. I'm going to use this with my students this term - we're designing / making pinball machines in Technology and will be able to test ideas with this! :)

I remember the electro-magnetic cannon experiment I conducted unofficially in secondary school, using a coil to propel a steel ruler while the teacher was briefly out of the room. Unfortunately, the observant cuss noticed the divot out of the wall, and I had to 'fess up for the sake of my classmates, who were otherwise all going to be kept in as well. I did detention making Mercury barometers for another practical lesson coming up.
