Falling sand... Addicting Game...

Featured Replies

I want to know if anyone has heard of this...

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

"Falling Sand Game", also "World of Sand", (2005) is a Java applet first found on the Dofi Blog via Fark thread, later enlarged and rehosted by Chirag Mehta. The game has been popular on community link sites like Digg and Delicious and involves four main falling particles: sand, water, salt, and oil. Each of these particles have special properties that can be manipulated; among these include burning, desiccating, growing, eroding, and more. Along with these four, main particles are auxiliary environmental manipulators: Wall, Fire, Plant, Spout, Cera (or wax), ???, and Eraser. By putting these together, one can thoroughly enjoy the modeling and construction of very complex structures and systems. There is an additional special feature that can be turned on, off, or told to remain in place. This is called the namekuji. In japanese, "namekuji" means slug, naturally for the properties of a slug when salt is poured onto it. Several different versions exist, varying from applets with zombies, or human bodies, that have their own unique properties to applets where auxiliary environmental manipulators have additional properties.

I played that game before on a different site over the summer. It's really addicting, and I love the open-endedness of it. I remember there being a thread about this game awhile ago, but I couldn't find it. There were some pretty cool pictures.

How do you play the game? What's the goal? :?

There is no goal. You just simulate random things mixed together and enjoy the physics engine behind it all.

So...what fun things can you do? If I mix fire and oil, will there be an explosion?

I had a lot of fun making environments where they would cycle on their own. I can't really remember what I did too well since it was a few months ago, but I think I divided the game into three parts with the ground tool, and set up a fountain somewhere. I had grass that would absorb and take over all the water, and somewhere there was a flame that would never run out that the grass would eventually reach and get burned out. The water would pour again, and eventually would reach some small remnant of the grass, which would spread and get burnt again. I just thought creating that kind of a cycle that ran on its own was fun. Just the whole control over any kind of scenario with whatever you want to mix is a fun thing to do.

What are some cool ways you can use to kill the zombies?

Dude rushrock stop asking artarded questions and experiment like it was science class.

I like to bury them in sand or salt. :D Or just set them on fire with fire and oil.

Thanks to whoever posted the new one. The "Zombies" are a nice new touch. :P I've been playin' the old one for a few months now.

The popularity of any given religion today depends on the victories of the wars they fought in the past.
