The Powder Toy is a desktop version of the classic 'falling sand' physics sandbox, which can simulate air pressure and velocity, heat, gravity and a countless number of interactions between different substances. The game provides you with various building materials, liquids, gases and electronic components which can be used to construct complex machines, guns, bombs, realistic terrains and almost anything else. You can then mine them and watch cool explosions, add intricate wirings, play with little stickmen or operate your machine. You can browse and play thousands of different saves made by the community or upload your own – we welcome your creations!

There is a Lua API – you can automate your work or even make plugins for the game. You will really need to play around with this to produce a proper working display, and we suggest going to the Wiki for general descriptions, how-to build, etc.
