sand

Easy-peasy Cellular Automata https://magnogen.net/sand

This is the source code for a small project written in JavaScript.

How it works

Simply click anywhere on the canvas to paint into the world. There are a variety of elements that you can paint with, including Sand, Air, Water and Lava. See how everything interacts!

Plans for the future

I'd like to add a few features for things like

• MORE ELEMENTS

• Making it work on touchscreen devices (mobiles)

  • Make this work better and less blue. You know what I mean lol

• Resetting the canvas

  Drawing over everything with air is good enough, but maybe a button too?

  • Reset World button

• A menu for different types of paint to use

  • Make this better looking

• Support for custom-made elements with unique properties

  So you'll have to write it in JavaScript at the moment, but I plan on making it its own language soon.

  • Language

• Different colouring methods

  (I had a play with this while I was making it, I added a colouring system that looked kinda like Noita, and a couple of others, but settled with what I have now. Maybe a way to toggle between them somehow?)
