Simple terrain & fluid simulation

Can be played with here:

Lemme know if you simulation people know how to make it better or more interesting to play with!

[u/jzillacon]

Reminds me of a Java browser game I played a lot when I was younger. It was simply called "Powder Game" by the developer Dan-Ball.

[u/LeeHide → u/jzillacon]

Check out PowderToy, it's free and quite good, sounds similar!

Ball knower

Noita intensifies.

[u/brendenderp → u/Flint343]

Hämis 👍

[u/umbraundecim → u/brendenderp]

Make the player character a hamis and noita fans will buy it just because

[u/PartTimeMonkey → u/umbraundecim]

The main game has a spider as a character that slings web

[u/Evening-Appeal7606]

That looks so much like the level design of „Oh no! More Lemmings!“ or maybe the first „Worms“ game.

[u/PartTimeMonkey → u/Evening-Appeal7606]

Hehe, yeah especially the ants give a Lemmings vibe! I'm currently making a spider that weaves web and traps the ants.

[u/Piyh → u/Evening-Appeal7606]

Liero was my jam and for others old enough to remember when landlines were a thing

[u/PartTimeMonkey → u/Piyh]

Indeed! The game this is based on is pretty much Liero and Worms combined with a hint of Noita

[u/CommissionBig5538]

Noita vibes

[u/Comacdo]

I'm getting Worms vibes ❤️

There sure are a lot of vaguely identical simulations popping up lately. This seems about on par for what GenAI can do.

[u/Ashisprey → u/AlwaysHopelesslyLost]

Ah is that why the lava is sandlava

[u/Rop-Tamen → u/Ashisprey]

I’m very confused as to why they’d use the sand logic for lava instead of whatever they’re doing for water… I feel like it’s literally right there

[u/Riculo]

Cool! but it's a bit strange how the water shoots out instantly from ledges and makes these floating horizontal lines

[u/PartTimeMonkey → u/Riculo]

I agree, it's a bit nasty. I'll see if I can make it better somehow

[u/N3rt]

Looks Like Clonk!

[u/SquarePeg37]

Well now I just want to play Lemmings

[u/PartTimeMonkey → u/SquarePeg37]

The ants almost feel like Lemmings

[u/FlarkingSmoo]

For anyone into these falling sand things there's this game that has been taking up way too much of my time lately

https://store.steampowered.com/app/2764460/Sandustry/

It's only in early access if you're not into that sort of thing, but it's pretty fun. Haven't gotten this absorbed into a game since Satisfactory

[u/hexoral333]

Wow I love this! So relaxing. But what is the green stuff? If I put it in water, it just generates more water? Is it some kind of toxic waste?

I also don't understand what the brown substance is. XD I think maybe showing the names on hover would be helpful?

[u/PartTimeMonkey → u/hexoral333]

Thanks. Yup, I agree! It’s supposed to be acid but it bugs put with water still. :) Brown is mud, it doesn’t really serve a good purpose yet.. and yes, will add the names!

[u/GustavTheGameDev]

The spider webs are real cool.

[u/PartTimeMonkey → u/GustavTheGameDev]

Cheers!

[u/prefim]

Amazing! Loved these 'sand toys' please add more materials and larger playfields. Improvement could be heating or cooling surrounding pixels. lava melts rock slowly but loses temperature when it does sort of thing.

[u/prefim → u/prefim]

oh it looks like it might be doing that actually...

[u/PartTimeMonkey → u/prefim]

Thanks, will do!

[u/Inst2f]

Wow! Is it a cellular automaton?

[u/Thorkell_The_Tall1]

this looks like that mobile sandbox game

[u/PartTimeMonkey → u/Thorkell_The_Tall1]

Which one?

[u/Thorkell_The_Tall1 → u/PartTimeMonkey]

The Sandbox (2012)

[u/attaack_maax → u/Thorkell_The_Tall1]

I FORGOT ABOUT THIS

[u/Thorkell_The_Tall1 → u/attaack_maax]

I used to play that all the time on my shitty ass phone under the sheets at night between school days

[u/attaack_maax → u/Thorkell_The_Tall1]

I had it on my kindle fire, I remember filling every map with lava because what else was I supposed to do?

[u/ProtiuxDesignLabs]

What language did you use?

[u/EdisonB123]

Reminds me of this game

[u/OofanEndMyLife]

Bro whyd you draw a cock and balls

[u/PartTimeMonkey → u/OofanEndMyLife]

I did? Where?

[u/OofanEndMyLife → u/PartTimeMonkey]

At the bottom and filled with water

[u/PartTimeMonkey → u/OofanEndMyLife]

I _maybe_ see it...

[u/Hot_Lychee2234]

Feels AI sim

[u/ThatOneDynamicGuy]

yo damn. do you maybe wanna collab or smth? I have a sort of powder box type of game at devdynaf.github.io and i would LOVE to get some feedback on it

[u/Irkam]

Suddenly a penis appears.
