Have you ever wanted to blow something up? Or maybe you always dreamt of operating
an atomic power plant? Do you have a will to develop your own CPU? The Powder Toy
lets you to do all of these, and even more!
The Powder Toy is a free physics sandbox game, which simulates 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.
The Powder Toy is free and the source code is distributed under the GNU General

is compiled using scons.
