I’m currently learning Python, but in the meantime I still want to try a simple simulation of my ideas. I just need a program that lets me create particles and forces with whatever properties and interactions I want that I can then simulate. For example, I might make a particle that attracts certain particles and repels others according to some equation. I already tried asking in softwareoptions, by the way

For advanced stuff, you have Geant4. Fully open source software developed by the CERN and collaborators. It has a steep learning curve, but the feeling of simulating advanced physics (and somewhat underestading them) is amazing.
