I compiled and ran Principia just fine (actually its awesome!) but Firefox does not do anything with principia:// urls. (I thought it would at least ask what to do) I've looked up some mime type information and found some clues in the packaging/ folder but something is not clicking with me to understand. Please advise. Thank you!

Thanks for the suggestions: I edited and added principia.desktop and principia-url-handler.desktop to ~/.local/share/applications

I can now run Principia from the Xcfe menu, but Firefox refuses to do anything. Tried again after reboot with same results.

Also tried with Chrome and got a location not supported error: https://imgur.com/2gZt0RB.png

EDIT: OK I figured it out: I had to edit the handlers.json in the firefox profile folder and add

"principia":{"action":2,"handlers":[{"name":"principia","path":"/path_to_folder_with_executable/principia"}],

within the list of existing handlers. There must be a way that does not require editing the file directly but at least it works now.

Pinball Construction Set for the Apple II was probably one of the first physics sandbox games for the home computer. I played this as a kid. I loved the Little Big Planet series and had fun making a pinball game for that too! I almost forgot to mention Rigs of Rods as another complex FOSS physics sandbox.

Unless Github does a Sourceforge I don't see any reason to completely move off of it.

Is it me or does the pot of water feel a bit warmer?
