  This was fun. I kept trying to "throw" the sand and use a forward momentum to the falling sand, but that doesn't work. No matter the speed of the mouse's movement, the falling particles always fall straight down. Otherwise I liked it enough that I am saving it for my next conference call as you've suggested

      Ye that game with the road mod is really nice. But it kinda only works for towns. The "big" buildings feel tiny due to the size limit (3x3?) so you can never get a satisfying city.

Soda constructor, circa 2000. Draw things with lines. Make some of them springd. Watch them move around. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soda_Constructor https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soda_Constructor Someone rebuilt it in Javascript. It’s not mobile friendly, so I haven’t been able to try much with it yet. https://peterfidelman.github.io/constructor/ https://peterfidelman.github.io/constructor/
