Discovered this earlier in the week. It's fun, and possibly even
educational.
Basically, draw shapes, attach them together with motors and springs,
and then let physics do its stuff.

Not opensource (unfortunately), but downloads are available for Linux
x86 and AMD64 (and yes, it requires some graphics, possibly even
opengl, though it is 2D).
