The code is in Java tho, but I believe available.
Gerald de Jong's work with tensegrity has been remarkable.

When I was first exposed to Squeak, one of the things that hooked me were the various Morphic demos, like curved text, bouncing-atoms, and the magnifier morph, all with the source code right there to learn from. Jeff Pierce's wonderful port of Alice did the same thing for 3D.
