Welcome to PhysiXplorer, the ultimate playground for physics enthusiasts, where you can explore a world of interactive, fun, and educational physics simulations! Whether you're a student, teacher, or just a curious mind, PhysiXplorer makes understanding complex physics concepts both engaging and easy to grasp. Get ready to dive into the universe of motion, forces, energy, and much more – in a way that's never been more fun! 🌟
PhysiXplorer is an open-source project designed to provide high school and university students with interactive, easy-to-understand physics simulations. Built with the latest web technologies, PhysiXplorer lets you explore various physics phenomena through interactive animations that you control. It's all about learning by doing, and every simulation is designed to let you visualize the physics behind it.
From simple pendulums to electric circuits, our simulations are created using the powerful p5.js library, and we encourage everyone to contribute, no matter if you're a physics expert or just starting. Ready to explore, experiment, and learn? Let's go!
- Interactive Simulations: Play around with simulations on topics like motion, waves, energy, and more!
- Customizable Parameters: Tweak variables and see real-time changes in the simulation. You control the experiment!
- Educational Theories: Each simulation comes with an accompanying theory section, explaining the underlying physics and math in a fun, digestible format.
- Easy-to-use Interface: Clean, intuitive design so that you can focus on exploring, not figuring out how to use it.
PhysiXplorer is built using ExpressJS, a fast web framework for Node.js. To get started, simply follow these steps:
- Install Node.js – The project is built with Node.js, and npm (Node Package Manager) will take care of the dependencies.
- Run the Setup – In the terminal, run
npm installto install all the required node modules.
Have a cool physics simulation in mind? We made it super easy to contribute your own:
- Add your p5.js simulation: Drop your code in the
/public/javascripts/folder. - Provide Simulation Data: Update the
/routes/parameters/simulationdata.jswith your new simulation's data. - Run the Python Script: Run the
python addSimulation.pyscript to add your simulation to the site.
Don't worry – if you're not sure where to start, we've got tutorials and starter examples like the simplePendulum.js simulation that you can fork and build upon!
We’ve designed the site with simplicity and clarity in mind. The UI ensures that all the important controls, like sliders, buttons, and dropdowns, are easily accessible, but only when you need them. The simulation window and theory section are organized neatly to ensure a clean learning experience.
Every simulation has its own customizable settings. Want to change the mass of the pendulum or the length of the string? It's just a few clicks away! Each setting allows you to change the physics in real time and understand how different parameters affect the system.
We believe that the more minds working together, the better we can make PhysiXplorer. Here's why you should join us:
- Open-Source: Whether you're a seasoned developer or a beginner, your contribution is always welcome.
- Learning by Doing: Adding your own simulation is a great way to learn and share your knowledge.
- Educational Impact: Your contributions help others better understand the fascinating world of physics.
Ready to make an impact? Fork the repo, create your own simulation, and be part of the PhysiXplorer community!
We’re always looking for new contributors who are passionate about physics and want to make learning even more exciting! If you love experimenting and building new things, PhysiXplorer is the perfect place for you.
