Chipmunk (software)

Chipmunk is a type of software that helps video game developers create games with physics.

Okay, so imagine you are playing a game where you are a little ball that jumps around on platforms. You want your character to follow the laws of physics, like gravity pulling it down when it jumps and momentum when it is rolling.

That's where Chipmunk comes in. It is like a set of rules that tells your video game how things should move and interact with each other. It helps the game developer make sure that everything in the game behaves in a realistic and believable way, making the game more fun and immersive to play.

In simpler terms, Chipmunk is like the director of a big movie. It tells all the different parts of the game how to move and act so that they all work together and make the game more exciting to play.
