Any more updates?

I heard that Emil has left Algodoo, so that most likely meant no more updates. Are there any further updates?

Why would he leave Algodoo when it's so amazing? Some YouTube videos with Algodoo/Phun gets millions of views because of the interest from younger people. I think it's amazing what people (and myself) can create with this program. I seriously wish i was born earlier so i could follow it from the beginning!

It's great until its free. But you need money for programmers and tech support.
The only way to improve it now is to make it open source and let users to do it.

Emil actually left as he wanted to move back to around his family in Stockholm, and shamefully. The good news is, Emil wasn't the only person workng on algodoo, they did have another windows developer, and I'm pretty sure I know who the OSx developer is (and the old linux dev).

Shamefully, however, algoryx has a ton of other stuff to work on, and algodoo is pretty much at the stage where we need something to happen in the education sector for it to pick up.

And, shamefully, there is a very low chance of Algodoo becoming OSS, it includes a modified version of the Algoryx multi-physics simulation library, and well, you can imagine they don't want people getting their hands on too much information from that.
When asking for help, READ THE STICKIES!
