Physics Sketchpad has one of the worst possible UIs. Buttons: Square - Draw a rectangular solid Circle - Draw a circular solid Circle with Cross - Draw a wheel Three wavy lines - Draw a constraint Green Circle - Play/Pause X - Fix/UnFix + - Grab and move U shape - Rotate Arrow - Attribute menu (manually adjust attributes of an object) Three horizontal lines - Open saved project menu If I write a Physics Sketchpad v.2.0, I will redo the whole menu. I even promise you tool tips for the shortcuts.
