Tips and tricks:
- zoom in and the simulation will run a LOT faster.
- the toolbox scrolls horizontally exposing more tools.
- click on a tool twice to create a tap.
- notice that you can rotate the sandbox.
Settings:
- Rotation - enable or disable rotation sensor.
- Zoom - sets zoom
- Spouts - enable or disable the 4 spouts (sand, water, crude oil and salt).
- Borders - set whether the edges of the screen are solid or not.
- Pause - pause and resume the emulation.
- View - sets the type of vision: normal / infrared.
- Premium - shows / hides premium tools.
- Auto-zoom - when the emulation slows down it automatically zooms in.
Material properties:
- Eraser - can be used to erase.
- Fire - blue flame is hotter than yellow.
- Tap - generates a constant flow of the first movable material that touches it.
- Wall - solid and resists explosions.
- stone, metal - solid materials that resist explosions and conduct heat.
- glass - resists acid and conducts heat. can be melted at extreme temperatures.
- Coal / wood / sawdust - burns in contact with fire and turns into ash.
- Ice - melts into water, and melts faster in contact with salt.
- Snow - melts into water, and melts faster in contact with salt. Floats too.
- Uranium - if it is not kept cool with water, it goes critical, destroying almost everything in the blast!
- Wick - absorbs liquids and burns except if wet.
- C4 - solid explosive that makes a huge explosion destroying most things.
- Wax - melts in contact with fire, and combusts if near something extremely hot.
- Salt - dissolves in water, melts ice.
- Firework - explodes sending out rockets.
- Blackhole - sucks in everything.
- Filter - allows liquids to fall through, but nothing else.
- Crude oil - flammable liquid.
- Acid - burns through most things, not glass. also can be boiled into acid vapor that is dangerous!
- Mercury - heavy liquid metal, toxic and conductive of heat. Can be boiled at extreme temperatures.
- Cement powder - dissolves in water, then sets solid.
- Gunpowder - explodes.
- Pump - pumps any liquid in the direction it is drawn.
- Conveyor - moves any movable material in the direction it is drawn.
- Water - freezes, boils and condenses. ice melts in contact with salt.
- Nitroglycerin - liquid explosive.
- Methane gas - floats up and explodes into flames if ignited.
- Algae - grows and spreads through water.
- Lava - extremely hot liquid stone.
- Petrol - extremely flammable almost explosive.
- Paraffin - only flammable if absorbed by something or when touching something extremely hot.
- Teleportation portal - teleports anything from portal A to portal B. when you draw, use 2 fingers.
- Conway's game of life - a simple mathematical pattern that spreads like microbial life.
- Termites - eat wood and replicate. Die in toxic liquids.
- Nanobots - eat metal. melt in high temperatures.
- Neon - lights up when electrified by high voltages.
- Lightning - high voltage charges set fire to what it hits and light up neon and nitrogen.
- Fuse - burns quick and sets off explosives.
- Liquid Nitrogen - releases nitrogen and freezes most things!
- Diamond - conducts heat and is almost indestructible!
- Tin - a easily melted metal.
- Virus - spreads through most things infecting them.
- Seeds - grow when planted correctly in soil.
- Earth - is needed to grow plants.
- Moss - grows on some solid materials.
- Lotus seeds - grows lily pads and lotus flowers if dropped in water.
- Aerogel - the best thermal insulator.
- Fireflies - insects that fly and glow occasionally.
- Gallium - a metal that melts at room temperature.
- Magnesium ribbon - thin ribbon of magnesium that burns very hot.
- Bamboo - a plant that grows fast.
- Sunflowers - a big yellow flower.
- Mimic - turns into anything it touches.
- Frogs - frogspawn hatches to tadpoles that eat algae that then transforms into frogs that lay frogspawn.
- Battery - connect a wire to power devices.
- Steam engine - generate power from steam, connect a wire to power devices.
- Regulator - limits the output voltage to 5 volts. Useful to power logic devices.
- Relay - acts like a switch, connecting the input to the output, but only if there is also power on one of the sides too.
- Test probe - used to power any wire you touch. also used to toggle switches.
- Switch - connects wires together when the switch is on. Use the test probe to toggle the switch.
- Wire - connect up devices to power sources.
- Junction - used to cross wires, any wire will connect across the junction horizontally or vertically to any other wire.
- Laser - when powered it produces laser pulses that can cut through opaque materials. more power increases pulse speed.
- Tesla coil - when powered it produces plasma arcs that are very destructive. more power increases arc length.
- Heating wire - when powered it produces heat.
- Disabler - when powered it disables other materials like filter, pump, portal, etc.
- Oscillator - 5 volt supply that switchs on an off constantly.
- LED - lights up when powered.
- LCD - turns black and opaque while powered.
- Logic gates - performs a logic operation on the value of the wires connected to it.
