Sandspiel is a creative falling-sand browser game implementing cellular automata, written in Rust and compiled to WebAssembly with WebGL rendering and JavaScript glue code. It lets players experiment with interacting elements like sand, water, and fire, with the goal of supporting sharing and forking of user creations.

Use cases

• play a falling sand game in the browser
• simulate how sand, water, fire, and other elements interact
• explore cellular automata in a creative sandbox
• create and share pixel physics simulations with others
• study a Rust-to-WebAssembly WebGL game architecture
• toy with a powder game like the classic Dan-Ball

When to choose

• you want a polished, playable falling-sand / powder toy that runs in a browser
• you are looking for a creative cellular automata environment with sharing in mind
• you want a reference implementation of Rust compiled to WASM with WebGL rendering

When to avoid

• you need a general-purpose game engine or physics engine for building your own games
• you need a high-accuracy scientific fluid or granular simulation
• you need a native desktop or mobile application rather than a browser game
