Not much to see exactly. The Alice book app uses Chipmunk for some interactive elements. You can see a swinging clock for a second or two though. Now if only Oprah could convince all of the stay at home moms out there to use Chipmunk Physics. Heh.

Who or what is Orpah? Google didn't give me any great insight . Would be cool to know

You must not be from the same hemisphere if you are serious. She's a talk show host that pretty much every stay-at-home mom watches. When she endorses a book, diet, or self help method it seems like it always becomes the new fad. It's sort a joke that you've made it big if Oprah endorses your product. Therefore Chipmunk has clearly become successful. :p

Sorry for offtopic, but tell me please how to make something like a rat floating in the water in the Alice book. I am newbie in Chipmunk and now choose between Box2d and Chipmunk.

A little OT, but whatever. :p

I used to have a really basic bouyancy demo in 4.x. Depending on your needs, it might work well enough. I removed it because it wasn't very general. The water level everywhere was represented by a single height, and the point sampling method wasn't very efficient.
