In 2009, Phun was rereleased under the name "Algodoo" (a combination of the words algorithm and do). In May 2008, Ernerfeldt brought the Phun project to Algoryx Simulation AB, a company founded in 2007 by Ernerfeldt's former supervisor at Umeå University, Kenneth Bodin.

This project was released for public and non-commercial use under the name "Phun" and gained considerable attention after a clip of Ernerfeldt using the software went viral on YouTube. In 2008, Emil Ernerfeldt created an interactive 2D physics simulator for his master's thesis project in computer science at Umeå University in Umeå, Sweden.


This program has been used by many people including: educators, students, and young kids. The physics engine in Algodoo utilizes the SPOOK linear constraint solver by Claude Lacoursière and a modified version of Smoothed-Particle Hydrodynamics (SPH) computational method. The software is functional with: desktop and laptop computers, touch screen tablets, and interactive white board systems such as SMART Boards. It was released on Septemand is presented as: a learning tool, an open ended computer game, an animation tool, and an engineering tool. Algodoo (/ˌælɡəˈduː/) is a physics-based 2D sandbox freeware from Algoryx Simulation AB (known simply as Algoryx) as the successor to the popular physics application Phun.
