Algodoo vs PIXIO®

Bring your ideas to life with realistic physics in Algodoo. This creative and educational app lets you design two-dimensional scenes where objects move according to the laws of physics. See cause and effect in action and refine your builds to perfection. Algodoo is a virtual 2D construction set to enjoy the creative thrill of building fun scenes and machines. You’ll never run out of parts. You can go deeper and analyse the motion and learn about mechanical devices. Once you master the tools and principles, you can build sandbox games or mesmerising, complex simulations. • Use basic 2D geometrical shapes or the free-hand drawing tool to create objects. • Combine components like axles, springs, motors, ropes, and lasers to create intricate machines. • Choose from various materials—steel, wood, rubber, water, and helium—and customise at will. • Press “Simulate” to bring your scene to life, moving under the forces of gravity, aerodynamics, buoyancy, and more. • Use trial and error to explore ideas and perfect your inventions. • Express your imagination with vibrant colors, shapes, and textures. Looking to build animations, contraptions, marble races, moving structures, chain reactions, or virtual science experiments? With Algodoo, the possibilities for invention, creativity, and exploration are endless. With the Quick Tour and tutorial videos, you can easily learn Algodoo’s basic tools and principles. It's not just for fun— the scientific foundation of Algodoo makes it a great teaching and learning aid for exploring physics concepts, operating principles of machines, and even construction.

The PIXIO app is an integral part of the PIXIO magnetic construction set. With it, you can create hundreds of different art pieces according to interactive instructions. At the same time, you can use the PIXIO app without a construction set, and assemble your art in only a digital format. The PIXIO app provides a wide range of opportunities for creators and fans of pixel and voxel art. Create your 3D pixel art in the Studio. Post it in the art feed. Get feedback from the community in the comments. Follow your favorite artists and constantly update your art collections. Get inspired by thousands of artists around the world and participate in competitions. Get real magnetic blocks to bring your creative ideas created in the app to life. All this is waiting for you in the new PIXIO app! In addition to the epic transformation of the app into a social network for pixel art enthusiasts from all over the world, the updated version has new features: ■ search thousands of pieces of art using tags, collections, keywords, and artists; ■ have fun augmenting reality with your art (AR); ■ change the background color of the art; ■ get inspired by the art of other artists — in the Studio you can work with any published art in the app, see in detail how it was made, and then upgrade it; ■ look for new color ideas with the recolor function; ■ choose any angle of your art to show it to the audience in the feed from the perfect angle. Of course, the basic functions for which pixel and voxel art fans love the PIXIO app have remained unchanged: ■ Each art in the PIXIO app is an accessible interactive instruction for creating anything from the PIXIO magnetic construction set. There are a variety of art collections for creative activities, ranging from animals and robots to artworks and interiors. ■ Create on the go, on different devices, even without an internet connection. ■ Interactive 3D guides, explaining how to create characters and artefacts. ■ Friendly instructions on the colors and numbers of required blocks for each creation. ■ Regular collection updates. PIXIO is dedicated to all designers, gamers, artists, architects as well as lovers, fans and admirers of everything new, fashionable, technological, and beautiful. With the app and only one set of PIXIO, there can be a new creation on your table every day that expresses your mood and develops your imagination.

Smart system of magnets inside, so it feels like the blocks are alive in your hands. Carefully picked color palettes. Surface of the blocks is pleasing to the touch. Satisfying clicking sound when connecting the blocks. Each PIXIO block is a little plastic cube size 8*8*8 mm (0.3*0.3*0.3 inches) weighing less than 1 gram with 6 magnets inside it. The position and polarity of the magnets are designed so that the blocks can be connected to each other in any sequence from different sides. Just take the PIXIO block in your hand and place it next to the other PIXIO blocks – and BANG! - the PIXIO blocks are connected.
