If you are still open for trying out water physics, you could always use some type of cellular automata as detailed in a Physics Post I made a while back.

Bump,

Due to the lack of time resulting of unexpected IRL complications, I won't do what I originally planned, but I'll try at least to submit some sort of a sandbox.

I don't think so unfortunately. I already have too many projects.

So, I've decided to make some sort of advanced powdertoy, with different possible cells : solid (real physics are applied on it), liquid (fall or go on the left/right, no physics) and if I success at it, gas (you'll see ). You'll be able to draw the environment the cells will live in, freely add cells to this environment, and influence them. There is no real goal but you can do what you want with little pixels

Update !

I've done all the engine and physics now you can mix solid, liquid and gas in the same session !



<the gray looks better on-calc of course>

What do you think of the way I handle gas ? Does it actually look like gas ?

I don't see gas as constantly moving ...

It's just types of matter. Single pixels are the best

It depends on gasses. There are heavy and light gasses. I choose to use a gas which has exactly the right weight to float and stay motionless

Lasers ? Not sure why but hem -_o

Of course I planned to add things, but more like fans and bombs to blow particles away, this kind of things.
