Thank you!

If you haven't played Noita it's basically a "falling sand" or powder physics game where every pixel is simulated. You need a special cellular automata that is not your typical game physics engine, so I don't think Babylon.js would be a good choice but I may be wrong.

I've modeled my architecture after this fantastic GDC talk by the Noita devs: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=prXuyMCgbTc ("Exploring the Tech and Design of Noita")




If all you want is 2D fluid flow with points, than Sebastian Lague's talk is very practical for the frame-rates he hits:

It should port over if you are not hitting super fine granularity, and the collision model for the sprites is simplified.

Some of the Babylon.js fluid examples still need a bug report:

Have a wonderful day =)
