    A feature I would like to see in a future release of sketchyphysics is the ability to connect objects with something like a breakable joint. What I mean by "breakable joint" is a connection, probably a joint, between objects that can be broken under pressure, maybe with a strength setting from 1-100, 1 being breaking on contact, and 100 indestructible. I got the Idea from a computer game called "bridge builder" (see http://www.bridgebuilder-game.com/ and go to 'game info' under 'bridge building game' in the menu on the left). The Idea is to be able to make things like bridges, and to have them breakable, without just being frozen.

      Breakable joints will soon be possible. Probably not the next release but the one right after.

        Great!
        Oh, and something else i've been wondering about... will, or is there already a way to change the density of individual objects?

          Yes. Same version will probably include materials. That lets you adjust density as well as other properties like how bouncy something is.
