Thumbs up Falling Sand Game Revisited

The falling sand game with correct material properties (e.g. real densities) and high explosives!!

Most fun yet it to make a basin, fill it with nitro, pour lots of oil on top of the nitro, then release water inside the nitro and watch it float to the correct location given the relative densities of the materials. Oh, then light the whole thing on fire.

Re: Falling Sand Game Revisited

I'm recreating Prometheus bringing man fire. This time man is made of C4, lives on highly flammable pastoral fields, and drinks from bubbling fountains of oil. Also it is raining Nitro.

This should be fun

I noticed that the plant growth was much more reasonable in the last version I tried.
