Powder - falling sand and dancing dots

It is one of those quite lovely, webidipitious events, the continued evolution of the Falling Sand Game, the community of programmers and players that urges it forward. There's a version called the "Powder Game" that seems to have a plethora of both bells and whistles. To get a sense of the marvels awaiting, look on the bottom of the page for some of user creations at the bottom of the page (the one in the illustration is called "volcano" - it's a blast!).

If you haven't experienced the Falling Sand Game or explored its more recent variants, I suggest you begin with the Falling Sand Forum. And then continue here.
