Really cute! how did you do the sand simulation?

Thanks for playing! The sand simulation is a cellular automata. If you just look up sand simulations, that would be a good starting point since its a pretty classic programming exercise. Mine has some modifications to the most basic sand simulation to add velocity, upwards movement, etc. And then I periodically draw a polygon collision over the stationary sand to make it interactable :)
