Valve’s Portal = Smart Game
Normally not one to post about video games, but this looks like a blast –
The upshot is that Portal, perhaps inadvertently, makes for a hell of an educational game — because you’re constantly mentally calculating the vectors of force and direction you’ll generate by falling through and out of strategically placed holes. Physics teachers could have an absolute field day with this thing — using it to help kids grasp, in a really visceral way, how Newtonian laws of motion work.
