Sand And Below

[Black Phoenix]

Here is a little game I made, which uses the little physics engine I made:

ALTERNATE VERSION:http://filesmelt.com/dl/SAB08+.rar

Well, its a physics sandbox, where you can manipulate different substances, such as water, sand, dirt, acid, and air.

Engine supports multi-processor systems (which is handy), handling LARGE amount of particles (750000 on a 1024x768 screen), gas physics (partially, I'm working on it), pressure (also needs to be improved).

Oh, also the rendering engine supports dynamic lighting, but only from few angles (shame on me). Also its pretty slow, better if you have more than 2 cores/processors

In fact, I made this in 2 days (or 3, not sure).

Controls:
Left mouse button - Sand
CTRL+Left mouse button - Cement wall
SHIFT+Left mouse button - Concrete wall
CTRL+SHIFT+Left mouse button - Dirt

Right mouse button - Water
SHIFT+Right mouse button - Acid (try on cement)

Middle mouse button - BETA Air

O - take screenshot (saves in program directory)
M - Multi-threading mode toggle
R - Reset
X - Toggle pressure simulation
B - Toggle borders

A,S,D,F,G,H - Spawning large amount of sand/water/concrete/cement/acid/dirt (in same order)

In case you get panic screen, send "panic.dmp" file to phoenix@uol.ua
You will be very helpful in fixing bugs!

What do you think of it? If there will be interested people, then version 0.9 will come out soon, which will have a GUI, and support for any amount of materials (user-editable).

P.S. I'm aware of Falling Sands Game, but this uses different method of calculating physics, which is faster with large amounts of particles, and probably a bit more accurate. I recommend to try FSG, it has some nice features than SAB does not have yet.

This is cool.

reminds me of a online game ;D

I am thinking about Gish the entire time I played this, or was it Soldat. Never the less way out of my league.

Nice Job!

Looks very similar to wxsand.

Nice job though.

Open Source? Would love to see the physics you came up with. Not like its that high tech where you can't share. =)

Love Physics.

hehe, like I read it all the way to the last line in the post. =))))

Too... addicting...

Best 3-file game I've ever played.

Huh 3 files? Should be 2 files... I think
