A very simple customisable falling sand game.

I made this to test a game engine a friend and I have been working on. I fixed many bugs in the engine while making this, which was one of the goals.

Controls

LMB - Place

RMB - Remove

R - Reset grid

Scroll - Select powder

F1 - Normal view

F2 - Temperature view

F3 - Sleeping particle view

The config.json file defines a few settings and all the element presets that appear in the game. Each will be explained here.
