Physics Behind the Simulation

⚛️
Cellular Automata

Each pixel follows simple rules — complex behavior emerges from thousands of tiny interactions per frame.

🌊
Fluid Dynamics

Water simulates pressure and flow using a simplified Navier-Stokes approach, all running in WebAssembly.

🧠
Neural Palettes

Sandspiel uses a machine-learned color model to generate beautiful, organic color schemes for each element.

🔬
Open Source Science

The full simulation engine is open source (AGPL) — you can study, fork, and extend the physics.

Built on Sandspiel

This game is powered by Sandspiel by Max Bittker — a beautiful open-source falling sand simulation engine. The WebAssembly engine runs millions of physics calculations per second right in your browser.
