The Powder Toy is a remake of the classic "falling sand" flash game. It is a powerful physics simulator (similar to OE Cake) But a much simpler layout.

The latest version has an online mode where you can submit creations you have made or test ones other people have made.

Some Screenshots of the game:

Awesome, why hasn't this been posted here before?

Holy shit, this is one of the best particle sim toys I've seen.

It's quite new out, was made by an independent coder in IRC as he was bored and wanted something fun to do :P


If anyone wants to visit the official IRC it's

This is amazing. Just wow.

SOMETHING TO DO AT SCHOOL NOW

WOAH
Fucking infuckingcredible

Agreed. This game is fucking incredible. Some of the effects and particles need a little polishing.

But still. Pretty boss.

Amazing!

Nice of him to let us linux users have a native compiled version.

How nice of them to release it for so many operational systems.

Whoa this is badass

There was a PSP Version but it wasn't very optimised
And there MAY be a version coming out for the iPod Touch/iPhone. But thats still undecided

By them you mean one guy. This wasn't a team effort. Just one guy's boredum.

Fucking awesome

Am I the only one that hates these games?

yes

(User was banned for this post (""Get Out" emot" - Roo-kie))

I just spent 5 hours playing with this....Very fun.

How could you have been playing it 5 hours, i only posted the links an hour ago lol

Just because YOU found out now, doesn't mean HE didn't.

I didn't JUST find out, i have known about this game for weeks, seeing as i was there for the original beta.

what are theses SSE things?

SSE is just an instruction set that your processor can handle, means it will run better on your processor.

Oh ok thanks

Pretty similar, but java-based game: http://dan-ball.jp/en/javagame/dust/

Isn't this just http://dan-ball.jp/en/javagame/dust/ but with less java and more not-browser?

Seems really good sandbox game.

God, I thought it was a repost first, BUT HOLY SHIT THIS IS FUCKING AWESOME!

dude your avatar got bigger

Fucking awesome! But how do you save stuff?

How do you make the window bigger? I can' see shit

Awesome.

This is like Powder Game but better.

I love the fire effect.

You need to create an account, and then use the signin box at the bottom of the app

I said in the original post, it was based upon the java based versions, but this one is a lot better physics, and more frequently updated.

How do you increase the size of the window?

THIS! Grrrr. Also, any way to get a bigger brush?

Yeah, the limit's bigger now.
I have a hi-res picture of the guy, just resizing and cropping it as I need.

Nitrogen? I'm happy

Oh. Nitro. I thought "NITR" was nitrogen

Also, this may sound retarded but usually people overlook this stuff, you can draw straight lines with SHIFT
