# Showcase

This page shows some uses of Pymunk. If you also have done something using Pymunk please let me know and I can add it here!

## Games

| Beneath the Ice make by Team Chimera (mit-mit, Lucid Design Ar). Retrieved 2016-09-25 Winner of PyWeek 22 (Overall Team Entry) Beneath the Ice is a submarine exploration game and puzzle solving adventure! Uncover a mysterious pariah who can’t let you discover his secrets, who can’t let you in! Team Chimera take 3!
| Invisipin made by Tee. Retrieved 2016-01-25 Winner of PyWeek 20 (Overall Individual Entry) A pachinko-like puzzle game. Play some balls and watch their movement carefully (i.e. collect data) to reconstruct the board!
| Angry Birds in Python made by Estevao Fonseca. Retrieved 2016-10-30 Angry Birds game written in python using pygame and pymunk
| SubTerrex made by Paul Paterson. Retrieved 2016-01-25 A cave exploration game where you explore caves by descending into them on ropes.

## Non-Games

| pyPhysicsSandbox made by Jay Shaffstall. Retrieved 2017-01-01 pyPhysicsSandbox is a simple wrapper around Pymunk that makes it easy to write code to explore 2D physics simulations. It’s intended for use in introductory programming classrooms.
| Carrom Simulation made by Samiran Roy. Retrieved 2016-10-27 An open source Carrom Simulator interface for testing intelligent/learning agents. It provides an interface that allows you to design agents that that play carrom. It is built in python, using pygame + pymunk. This is the course project for CS 747 - Foundations of Intelligent and Learning Agents, taught by Prof. Shivaram Kalyanakrishnan at IIT Bombay.
| Self Driving Car made by Matt Harvey. Retrieved 2016-08-07 A project that trains a virtual car to how to move an object around a screen (drive itself) without running into obstacles using a type of reinforcement learning called Q-Learning.
