Phun - a physics sandbox program

I just had my first look at Phun, a 2D physics sandbox program, and I like it. I always enjoyed the game "The Incredible Machine", based on similar physics simulation, and Phun is a lot like that, with some differences. I didn't look too deeply, but it seems that the name is very appropriate.

It also got me thinking what other sandbox programs would be interesting and fun (or what other features could be incorporated into a physics program like this). Maybe magnetism, light and sound, but why not chemistry or even biology?

PS - The Frankenstein implications of a biology simulator might be a bit much.
PPS - Still, it could be very interesting.
