  Falling sand games bring back a lot of nostalgia. If you're interested, you should check out dan-ball's version which is one of the progenitors of the genre. Over the years he's added a ton of features, elements, and interactions, to the point where it now has a fluid mechanics simulation for air! https://dan-ball.jp/en/javagame/dust/. - Source: Hacker News / 4 months ago

  Immediately thought of Powder Game, and it turns out that it's one of the main inspirations indeed (according to the info box)! https://dan-ball.jp/en/javagame/dust/ I spent so many hours in that game. It also had ways to publish your creations, and people created anything from multiplayer coop games to entire ALUs in it.
