Particle Physics Manager
This is the download page for the Particle Physics Manager game developed by Bimrngham
University's Particle Physics group. It is currently in the pre-alpha stage and so has some
way to go before recieving a proper release. However, it is under active development and updates
should be posted on this site every week. If you wish to try it, please download the
zip file below, unzip it and run the PPM3.exe executable within. Currently, this has only been
tested with Windows Vista but versions for Windows, Linux and Mac will be available
in the future. If you have any feedback on the general ideas of the game or the interface,
please email Cristina.
