Collisions between circles, velocity, mass questions --Answered my own question

[Frank D. Engel, Jr.]

Blender's "odd" interface is intentional.  Someone who spends enough 
time learning it can supposedly work far more quickly with Blender than 
with any of the mainstream 3D packages on the market.  The "Golden Rule 
of Blender" is to keep one hand on the keyboard, one hand on the 
mouse...

That being said, Blender is open source.  Its interface is all done 
through OpenGL, and it supports scripting via Python.  Maybe something 
in there could help if you are really interested in this...
