Rust and Box2D browser physics game – build destructive machines

A browser physics sandbox where you assemble machines whose whole purpose is to wreck things, with the simulation written in Rust and run through Box2D inside your tab.

It reads as a construction kit rather than a finished game, which is exactly the kind of experiment this site exists for.
