Reminds me of something I remember playing with years ago, where you could draw various materials on the screen. Brick, sand, water, and then add different types of explosives. A really fun simulation all in the browser.

Anyone remember what this is?





Very similar to this! I wonder if someone else had re-made it since then.


Check out sandspiel: https://sandspiel.club/


Here's another powder simulation, https://powdertoy.co.uk/. This one still has an active community and development team, and people have built all kinds of cool things with it like actual computers that can be programmed with assembly.


The aforementioned sandspiel is excellent, along with orb.farm (by the same author), and (shameless plug) my own entry in the genre: https://github.com/JMS55/sandbox


Oh, God; that brings back memories. It was like the Windows 3.1 days, right?
