'''~~Boxes~~''' ~~- Rectangles of any dimension~~

'''Stop/Start'''

:~~Use: click (top-left corner) drag + release (bottom left corner) -- like dragging a selection box in a photo editor~~

:Allows you to stop time and start it again, so you can build structures without it collapsing while you work.

~~'''Circles''' - Circles of any radius~~

~~:click (center) drag + release (outer edge)~~

~~'''Triangles''' - Triangles (equilateral) of any size~~ and ~~initial rotation~~

~~:Use: click (center of base) drag + release (tip)~~

~~'''Polygons''' - As many sides as~~ you ~~would like~~. ~~Draw your own N-gon.~~

~~:Use: '''Click''' for each point, '''to end''': right click, or left click in the circle around the original point~~

'''Draw'''

~~:Use~~: Click and hold to draw any shape you'd like!

:Click and hold to draw any shape you'd like!

'''Triangle''' - Triangles (equilateral) of any size and initial rotation

:Click (center of base) drag + release (tip)

'''Polygon''' - As many sides as you would like. Draw your own N-gon.

:'''Click''' for each point, '''to end''': right click, or left click in the circle around the original point

'''Erase''' - Click on an object to erase it, or draw a line of destruction--erasing everything in its path!

'''Motor''' - Click an object to pin and drive it with clockwise rotation

:It's easiest to pause the simulation, place your object, add its motor, and resume the simulation again.

'''Box''' - Rectangles of any dimension

:Click (top-left corner) drag + release (bottom left corner) -- like dragging a selection box in a photo editor

'''Grab''' - Drag existing objects around with the mouse

'''Joint'''

'''Pin''' - Pin a shape to the screen, it can rotate about the pin

:If you want to lock a shape in place use two or more pins to stop it rotating

'''Circle''' - Circles of any radius

:Click (center) drag + release (outer edge)

'''Joint''' - connect two objects together with a rod

:Click on any object, drag to another object + release to create a distance joint

~~'''Erase''' - Click on an object to erase it, or draw a line of destruction--erasing everything in its path!~~
