I have a mad scheme for making an object move using applyForce and momentum. (Arrgh, results suggest that we need to file a bug report.)

An experiment by Dave1707 inspires Ron to figure out what's really going on with applyForce. Will he succeed? The answer may not surprise you.

Ooo, an accidental play on words. We're going to change our cube's direction, but also the direction of these articles.

We've learned how to move things using code. It turns out that Codea can handle moving them for us, for fun and profit.

I think we need to learn about Craft physics so that we can tutorialize something about it. This turns out to be a bit of fun.

Here's how you really do that. An improved design for our entities.

A couple of new entities lead to a design concern.

In this tutorial, we'll make our cube move around the 3D volume a bit, then improve how it looks. And we'll improve how we look at it.

Converging on a plan, I decide to do a series of tutorials. Herein, an explanation of what I mean and intend, and the first one.

I'm setting out to learn, again, about Codea's 'Craft' capability, its 3D voxel-based facilities. Today, I'll talk about my reasons, ambitions, and look at some code.
