      So im somewhat new to sketchyphysics and i was just wondering how i would be able to make something explode? Burst into a bunch of pieces... I would appreciate if someone would give me the steps or a tutorial on how to accomplish that. Please help me! Thank you!

        There are a number of different ways but I think using magnetism and some ruby scripting is probably what I have seen the most often. Positive magnetism attracts things that are set to magnetic and negative repels (or vica-versa). If you don't know anything about ruby scripting...now is a good time to start. There is also a routine called SPLIT that will cut things in half but it has its own set of issues.

          Maybe you could give us an example model if what you have in mind and we can add on a few tricks to simulate an explosion.
