Running Examples

Examples can be run with uv:

cd <path_to_superdex_physics>
uv run --no-project examples/example_rigid_bodies.py

Most examples automatically launch the SuperDex Physics Debugger for inspecting and controlling the simulated scene. See Inspecting Scenes for navigation and playback controls.
