Sorry if my reply is a little late, I rarely check the forum.

You can apply permanent accelleration forces using thyme code. Since you are new, you may not understand the details, so here is a step by step tutorial on how to do it:

Right click your box and open the script menu(last option in the list)
go to the word postStep, it has the text (e)=>{}
Go inside the {} curly brackets and type in this line:
vel = vel + [0,*Write your accelleration value here*]/sim.frequency

This should be it. The code executes every simulation frame and adds a fraction of the accelleration force to the fraction of time(since algodoo calculates multiple times per second)
