Phun isn’t difficult to figure out on your own, but here are some pointers to get you started:
* In the options window, select Enable shaders to dramatically improve the graphics.
* Click and drag the right mouse button over the background to pan, or over an object to rotate it.
* Hinges can do more that let an object rotate on a point. You can set up a motorized hinge that are controlled by the arrow keys. Find these options in the object’s right click menu.
* Phun includes a fluid simulation! Turn an object to water by right clicking on it and selecting Geometry Settings->Liquefy Selected.
* You can load the included scenes from the File->Load Scene menu.
There’s a tutorial on the Phun’s website that goes over all the tools. Have fun!
