SandWorld - Particle simulator

SandWorld is a living falling sand physics sandbox. Paint sand, fire, water, lava, and dozens of other elements onto the screen and watch them fall, flow, burn, freeze, dissolve, and react in real time.

FILL THE WORLD WITH REACTIVE ELEMENTS
Choose from 230+ materials:
• Powders: Sand, Gunpowder, Ash, Coal, Salt, Snow, Cement, Sodium, Phosphorus, Thermite, Baking Soda, Dry Ice, and more.
• Liquids: Water, Oil, Acid, Lava, Slime, Honey, Mercury, Gasoline, Milk, Napalm, and more, each with its own density and flow, so heavier liquids sink through lighter ones.
• Gases: Steam, Smoke, Helium, Methane, Toxic Gas, Oxygen, Hydrogen, and more, rise and drift until they dissipate.
• Solids: Stone, Wood, Ice, Metal, Glass, Brick, Concrete, Diamond, Gold, Obsidian, and more.
• Special: Fire that spreads and burns, TNT that detonates, a Black Hole that swallows everything nearby, a Plasma Lamp that arcs sparks, and linked Portals that teleport anything that falls through them.
• Plants, weather, electricity, and a wide roster of creatures and vehicles, each with real behavior.

LAUNCH WEAPONS AND FIREWORKS
Sling Rockets, Cannons, Bombs, Nukes, Grenades, Arrows, Meteors, a Machine Gun, and a Confetti Cannon into your world, call down Lightning, or launch fireworks in six colors that climb and burst into rings, peonies, willows, palms, crackles, chrysanthemums, or crossettes, in five sizes.

DRIVE, FLY, AND SAIL
Place 30+ vehicles: everyday cars, boats, and an airliner; farm and industry machines like a tractor, harvester, excavator, monster truck, and cement mixer; a sailboat and blimp that ride the wind; a hovercraft and jet ski; military hardware, a bomber, a warship, a tank, and an atomic bomber that drops real ordnance; even a rocket ship and a UFO. Watch them roll, sail, fly, or hover through your world.

GROW A GARDEN, LEARN THE CHEMISTRY
Plant seeds in soil near water and watch them sprout and grow. Discover real chemistry as you play: acid dissolves stone, sodium pops in water, baking soda and vinegar fizz, thermite melts metal into lava. An in-app Reactions screen explains every interaction, so you can learn the rules behind the chaos.

EXPLORE GENERATED WORLDS
Generate a new map from 14 themes, each a real landscape of cliffs, caves and waterfalls: Castle, Islands, Jungle, Garden, Zoo, City, Armageddon, Underground, War, Arctic, Volcano, Maelstrom, Workshop, and Plants. Each is built with real structure and detail: a castle with its own walled village, a city laid out in districts with a metro and sewer beneath it, a zoo with real animal pens, floating islands hiding caves and buried treasure, sunken ruins and wrecks on the seabed, and the War theme's dueling fortified bases with their own cannons.

TURN A PHOTO INTO A WORLD
Pick a photo or take one with the camera, and SandWorld rebuilds it as a world: painted in pixels, or made of real materials, so the sea becomes water and the hills become sand, grass and stone that fall, flow and burn.

BUILD, THEN WATCH IT FALL
Everything you build is a solid piece with real weight. An unsupported tower tips over, slides down a slope or crashes onto what is below, and an explosion throws whole structures through the air.

SEE THE WORLD DIFFERENTLY
Switch between Day, Normal, Night, Thermal, and Blueprint view modes to watch your creations glow in the dark or reveal heat as false color.

YOUR WORLD IS SAVED
Your entire canvas, every grain, every fire, every creature, is automatically saved when you close the app and restored exactly as you left it.

Most materials, weapons, fireworks, creatures, and maps are free to try. Optional in-app purchases unlock the full material roster, every weapon and firework, the complete creature and vehicle roster, extra maps, and a tiny precision-brush world.

Whether you want to build elaborate chain reactions, grow tiny ecosystems, or just melt, freeze, and explode things for fun, SandWorld turns your screen into a tiny reactive universe.

Recent changes:
What's new in 1.8:
• Nukes now build up over several moments, with the mushroom cloud drawn over the scene.
• Liquid thrown by a blast or hit flies off as spray.
• Smoother water surfaces.
• Lift any solid with your hand, however heavy.
• Wrecks and big hulls settle calmly, and the game runs smoother in heavy scenes.
• Fixed: water lines hanging over the sea after an impact, the menu closing when you change gravity, and slow motion after big scenes.
