What is Marble Racing, specifically Algodoo Marble Racing?
Marble racing is exactly what it sounds like - marbles racing. You know... those glass, spherical toys. The basic idea is that there's marbles racing through a track and whichever one crosses the finish line first wins, but as marble racing evolved, that wasn't always the case; the marbles could be racing for points or trying to compete in other ways, such as whichever marble can jump the highest or leap the farthest.

Whatever the objective is, one thing is clear: Marble Racing is basically marbles competing with other marbles. If you're new to marble racing, I'm sure what you're thinking: "What? how is that entertaining?". It depends on the type of person you are. Some people like it because their childhood was watching other people's races. For other people... they don't know. It's one of those things you have to see for yourself to know what all the hype is.

Now, what's Algodoo marble racing? There's only so much you can do with marble racing in real life, not to mention it can be pretty costly too. That is when people took it to an alternative, physics simulators. Algodoo is a free physics sandbox where you can explore the world of physics and make pretty much anything. It didn't take long for people to make marble races - all it took was a few circles and a couple of boxes here and there, thus the birth of the Algodoo Marble Racing community.

Even though Algodoo marble racing doesn't exactly give the feel of "real" marbles racing, there's so much more things you can do in a simulator that you can't do in the limitations of real life: making marbles float, teleporting them with a blink of an eye, growing and shrinking them... the possibilities are endless and the hype is still there.
