What is the Phun Edition?

Postby giesse » Wed Apr 23, 2014 1:27 pm

I have been using the 2.1.0 version of Algodoo, but just saw this reference to the "Phun Edition".

Is it just an older version, or.... ?

AS you may have read, algodoo actually digs it's roots back to a game called Phun, which was made by Emil Ernerfeldt for a university project. Emil worked on his own from the first version of phun, all the way through to about version 4.18, which then lead onto version 5.

Emil was then offered to work for Algoryx to continue to develop his project, as well as assist on a few others. and, as you may know, when you're coming out of university and are offered a job, you're going to take it if it interests you.

The issue was then that they wanted to trademark the name of the game, which was impossible for a game called Phun, and moving away from the name was a good idea for various other reasons, hence the name Algodoo.

Coming forward, version 5 of phun was renamed to Algodoo: Phun edition, this was to ensure that there was potential disputes.

So, to answer your question in short; Algodoo: phun edition is a older version of Algodoo, dating back to around 2008/9!
