@TodePond I couldn’t resist extending & integrating it into Humble demo suite

Humble UI window with a list of demos, Sand selected. In it, there is a layer of sand at the bottom of the window, then a layer of water. Flying above it, word “Sand” is written in red, slightly covered with sand and water
