12 The Powder Toy is a free physics sandbox game, which simulates air
13 pressure and velocity, heat, gravity and a number of other interactions
14 between different substances. The game provides the player with vari‐
15 ous building materials, liquids, gases and electronic components which
16 can be used to construct complex machines, guns, bombs, realistic ter‐
17 rains and almost anything else. The player can then mine them and
18 watch cool explosions, add intricate wirings, play with little stickmen
19 or operate their machine.
