that game is seriosly addicting it was made by some japenese guy with the following gameplay
add stuff to a black square
water puts out fire
fire burns plant
sand doesnt do anything
and cera/wax can be used like a candle
and the fun part oil (the burny stuff)
there are actully a few versons of the game like wxsand the downloadable game that you can mod and make new elements to.

FRAKY. I AM SO PLAYING WITH IT RIGHT NOW.

Yes, I have the downloadable version, which I like because you can mod. I don't know how to mod it properly, exactly, but I know some kids with a bunch of cool mods, like magnesium, different kinds of fire, rock that turns to lava, gunpowder, and stuff that burns rainbow colors.

Just expirementing with oil myself...

Got a link where I can download that? Sounds pretty cool, I might be able to make a few things

But yeah, I've played that, it's awesome. It's so awesome, it's part of my homepage (I've got on of the google customizable pages) I like to play "snake" by setting a line of plant on fire and drawing more plant as the fire devours it. Even better with a higher speed.

I've also heard that oil on top of water is supposed to do what it would do in real life, but it doesn't seem to work.

I love this game so much. It's what I do in Physics all the time... out of lack of better things to do.

The downloadable version:

Have fun! And if you learn to make any good mods, do tell.

Heh, I haven't played this thing in ages. It's an awesome waste of time. Fire rocks.

I don't really get the point of ???, but it looks real nice if you set everything to 5, get rid of the Najikubi and then use it. It's some kinda looong chain reaction.

It clears the screen of everything. Useful if you have lots off stuff on the screen.

EDIT: Well...it did that once. Now, it burnt away everything but plant and water. Hm...mysterious...

K, Tried it. Still messing around. So, check out this site. By far the coolest.

http://www.fallingsandgame.com/

EDIT: Ok, Fire burns Oil, Plant and Cera/wax, water grows plant and snail, salt kills snail, snail destroys walls, Spout shoots water, and Sand doesn't seem to do jack.

Falling Sand WIki

Lots of cool mods and stuff there for the downloadable game. Liquid fire is pretty awesome.

Well that's fun. The cera doesn't really do crap, and the oil doesn't burn as much as it should.

I like making the spout, and then putting plants under them.

Stupid freakin' ball thing. How long does it take before it starts going on a rampage?

Fun thing I learned how to do on Wikipedia: Turn off the slug/snail, fill the screen with salt, and then reactivate the slug. Watch the fun!

The wiki is cool, by the way. Some people make really neat mods. I might make one myself if I can figure out how to do it....

EDIT: Oh noes! The wiki broke'd. Oh well.

EDIT THE SECOND: Well, it's back up now. Nevermind.

Not too long. The downloadable version that Cybernetic Teenybopper linked to can save/load the game as a .png file...

So you just have to save the game with a bit of everything on the screen... to make it easier I pause the game, then wrote "Wall" in wall, "Fire" in fire, etc... This is to get the colours that it uses.
Then take a few screenshots (Homestar from his character page (easiest one), The Cheat from long pants (as he leans in to burn the daisy dukes), and Strong Bad from The House that Gave Sucky Treats (as he leans in to full Marzipan's bag with steak)), scale them down and line them up... then trace them in another layer with the appropriate colours found above. Then save as PNG load that into the game.

Or just download this (my finished product) and load that into it...

Me either. I tried pasting some mod code into my physics file, but it doesn't work. Anyone have any clue?
