🏗️ WORK IN PROGRESS 🏗️

#

In this post we’ll create a very simple environment to start simulating in Newton.

File Structure

#

As recommended by official documentation, we’ll be using uv to help structure this project. This is the file structure I used to get started:

project/
├── halit/
└── newton/

In the structure above, newton/ is the GitHub repo for newton and halit/ is the name of my working directory.

Within projects/halit/ we run the following:

uv init
uv add ../newton
uv add pyglet imgui_bundle

The file structure should look a little something like this now:

project/
├── halit/
│   ├── main.py
│   ├── README.md
│   ├── pyproject.toml
│   ├── uv.lock
│   ├── .gitignore
│   └── .python-version
└── newton/

Key Concepts

Broadly speaking there’s two main things we want to do. We want to first build our “world”, then second view this world and see how it evolves.

Viewing Your Simulations

In newton there are several different viewer objects. These are accessed via `
