    I installed the libpng3 dependence and it works! And I just entered it /opt/Algodoo/algodoo into the Terminal. Thanks a ton for the help Rubberman.

    Glad to get you going. So, are you taking some physics classes that you want the simulator for?
    Sometimes, real fast is almost as good as real time.

    Also, a quick factoid - PNG stands for Portable Network Graphics.

    No, I'm trying to figure out how an engine works and see if I can make one on Algodoo.
    Also, I want to experiment with a few other things, like how to make a trebuchet. I'm gonna have a lot of fun blowing buildings up.

    Oh, okay, that's what it stands for. It's also what I save all my pictures as.
