I've been mesmerised by this game for about 7 hours now. Probably 5 of them the same pattern with minor tweaking.

Wow.

The point is to destroy the ball thingy I think? I have no idea how. Could someone explain it? I have fun playing with the sand, though.

There's a point? All this time I was just messing around. I'm trying to make scaffolding that completely disintegrates when the oil on it is torched.

Maybe not. Like I said, if there is a point, I have no idea how to do it. It's really fun, though.

It's a variant of the game of life. Google that, (I dare you) and life will never be the same again.

Nah, that's simple, just hit it with some salt. It explodes and you get a new one. It's a sandbox, I think.

Watch what happens when you make the Namekuji too small with salt.

Aye, my thoughts exactly...

Salt destroys the ball thingy, but as far as I can tell, there is no point to the game.

I'm a pyro too. The ball is a slug. Salt kills it. There went 3 hours of my day.... That is the last time I click on a thread that says Addicting thinking I'm strong and can handle it... [Mad]

I'm just running it in teh background to see how long the ??? thingy keeps looping and destroying everything (except the plant that seems to slow it down in enough places that it can keep looping).

From what I can tell, cera is like the wall, except that it burns (though very slowly).

Yup, it's wax. If you read the what do you do with this links, it tells you that.

I made mine pretty by writing Chinese characters with the spout. They turned into really nice waterfalls after a while.

I think it is an bacteria. If you build plant walls, the bacteria will do loops. I eventually had to close the window because it kept going on and on... All night I've kept wanting to mess with it again... Arg...

Hey, a cool way to make fireworks is to put a wall at the bottom (make sure slug is doing something else so it doesn't eat it away), then make your pen size 32, and fill the whole screen with salt. Sit back and watch fireworks.

Waste your time here

This one scores right at the top though, so if you can break this habit the others might be easier [Smile]

Turn off all of the spouts (salt sand water oil), select water, size 32, put on snig until it is really big, almost full screen. Get 50 zombies, then select fire and set the snig aflame. Watch zombies roast.

Set oil on fire. The oil spout should be aflame, but nothing else. Put a water spout next to oil spout (at top). Put plant below the spout, at the bottom. Watch plant grow up to the top of the screen, then it touches the oil that is on fire, and watch it burn!

I still do, now and then, but I play it through the links at www.fallingsandgame.com. It has a "small" version that will run better on my crappy work computer.

My goal, usually, is to create a pattern that is as complicated as possible, and yet is able to "self-cleanse" ... ie, once it starts burning, it burns totally to cinders, all Spouts are destroyed, all Salt, Sand, and Water are dumped (or in the latter case, turned to Plant and burned), and all Wax and Plant are gone. Without my having to help the process along once the conflagration begins.

Yeah, I still don't see the point.

But then, this would also be why Las Vegas is wasted on me.
