Imagine if you could just draw stuff on virtual paper that moved by itself, maybe the Box2D engine will allow for some "creature physics", so the kids can draw dogs and cats (and, most likely, fiersome dinosaurs) that would have their own movement patterns, a bit like the wheels of the car in the demo video of Deluxe (but without the wheels, obviously).
Microsoft Research actually released a very similar program back in 2004. I played around with it on a Fujitsu P1510D Tablet PC (Win XP Tablet Ed). Very very entertaining

Here are instructions on how to run it on non-tablet PCs:
