@liaizon mhmm this doesn't seem to be working for me, but yeah, like one of those falling sand playground :)

wakest ⁂

@neauoire does this one work: sandspiel.club
these are by maxbittker.com and they have been making incredible falling particle games for ages

Devil Lu Linvega

@liaizon it works, but it's a too slow to be usable. Same idea yeah :)

wakest ⁂

@neauoire you still using a RaspberryPI as your main computer?

Devil Lu Linvega

@liaizon not all the time, I also dig out the pinebook from time to time. This might run a bit better on it, but usually canvas heavy things do pretty poorly even on the pinebook.

@neauoire great! so glad you're exploring the world of falling sand

Devil Lu Linvega

@TodePond can't believe I never tried this before, it's something that I vaguely remember from my childhood, but hadn't encountered again until today. Thank you.

Lu Wilson

@neauoire my pleasure! I'd recommend checking out @maxbittker's post about making sandspiel if you're into this area: maxbittker.com/making-sandspie

and also I think you'd like Color Code by @murilove: murilopolese.com/blog/2020-11-

but you might also come across these if you watch enough of my vids :)

Rock particles 🗿

[*] The implementation is only 500 bytes long, you can see the bits in the picture at the bottom left of the video.

@neauoire
I see you've brought back FallingSandGame. Will you add explosives to turn it into Dust?

@neauoire as a kid, i used to play with 'powder toy' on my computer. are you re-making it? this looks fun

Devil Lu Linvega

@chigo I never used powder toy, but I've tried others like it. I just made a few particle types to see how this worked. I've been learning about parallel processing and these sorts of cellular automate work really well because you can split a frame to each thread and evaluate them separately.

@neauoire powder toy is i mmensely fun, especially with all the powders available :)

i would reccomend trying it out, at least
