Shapes
you draw-affected by three basic principles: gravity, friction, and
inertia.
Physics.
Drawn shapes will fall to the ground, bump against each other, and
sit still unless acted upon by another moving shape.
Draw
any object you please, but Magic Pen automatically smooths out jagged
edges into a more block-like shape. Game is mouse-driven-click and
start drawing.

switched the order of results
Most
students were easily tricked

the (falsely) top-ranked pages.
The
average high school and college student….
Unable
to discern the hidden agendas
This
naïveté is largely the fault of schools,
which rarely teach critical thinking.
