Below we have provided some snippets of code you can use by copying into your own glowscript window, modifying the code, and running the program. Any code with a # in front of it is simply a comment (or an editor's note) that defines what the line will make the computer do.

Here is some code you can use and modify to create objects like blocks and platforms.

MyBox = box(pos=vector(0,0,0), length=1, height=1, width=1, color=color.red) #Create a box object

Here is some code you can repurpose to define vectors and variables.

v = vector(3,0,0) #Define a velocity vector

t = 0 #Define the initial time
dt = 0.01 #Define the time-step
tf = 2 #Define the final time

Here is some code you can repurpose to add animations to your code (notice the indentation of lines below the while line).

while t < tf: #While loop to iterate over time until we reach the final time
    
    rate(100) #Rate keeps animation slow enough to view
    
    MyBox.pos = MyBox.pos + v*dt #Position update step to predict location of box after a time-step dt base on v
    
    t = t + dt #Update the time to go on to the next time-step after the position update

Here is some code you can repurpose to add acceleration to your simulation. Ultimately, this could be used to make objects slow down using friction (after defining some other variables and calculations).

a = vector(1,0,0) #Define an acceleration vector

while t < tf: #While loop to iterate over time

    rate(100) #Keeps animation slow enough to view
    
    v = v + a*dt #Velocity update step to predict velocity of box after a time-step dt
    
    MyBox.pos = MyBox.pos + v*dt #Position update step to predict location of box after a time-step dt
    
    t = t + dt #Update the time to go on to the next time-step after the position update

Here is some code you can use to graph physical quantities in real-time with the animation, such as position or kinetic energy.

PositionGraph = gcurve(color=color.red) #Create graph object for position

while t < tf: #While loop to iterate over time
    rate(100) #Keeps animation slow enough to view
    
    MyBox.pos = MyBox.pos + v*dt #Position update step to predict location of box after a time-step dt
    
    PositionGraph.plot(t,MyBox.pos.x) #Add a data point to our graph for with the position at time t
    
    t = t + dt #Update the time to go on to the next time-step after the position update
