Connected water bodies do not behave correctly:

Yeah, the rules are not great right now. When you drop sand into the water for instance it absorbs the water.

My bottomless cup runneth over.

Can you, or anyone in this thread share with me he Noita deal with this? Noita seems to be reference people use for this kind of stuff

this experiment was created in about three hours of code on one Saturday and another two on Sunday. Before posting here I've cleaned the code a bit and added some icons.

I really don't like the code right now, because it has a lot of if else (i intend to get rid of that) and I also don't like the interactions.

The basic mechanics uses celular automata, where the next state of the simulation is defined by it's previous state plus some rules. To accomplish this, I'm using two maps. I have a branch where I'm using only one map, but I'm still not happy with some aspects of the simulation.

As soon as I have a better code base and better simulations, I'll release the source code on my github.

Well, congrats on the release anyway.

Looks like you'll have to do some sort of value propagation.

It doesn’t work on mobile, which is unfortunate. I was very curious given the title.

What device are you on? It was supposed to work on mobile

Works fine for me

Yeah, I made the thing to run on mobile.
