Tips and tricks:
- click on a tool twice to create a constant flow of it.
- notice that you can rotate the sandbox and the toolbox scrolls horizontally to expose the 40+ tools and materials.
Tools:
- New - clear the sandbox.
- Rotation - enable or disable rotation sensor.
- Zoom - set zoom to a few different zoom settings, zoom in to increase the speed of the game a lot.
- Spouts - enable or disable the 4 spouts (sand, water, crude oil and salt) from the top of the screen.
- 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.
Material properties:
- Eraser - it erases everything expect indestructible walls that are a part of a puzzle level.
- Tap - makes a constant flow of the first movable material that touches it. For example, gases, fire, liquids and powders.
- Wall / stone / metal / glass - solid and resists explosions and/or acid (depending on which it is).
- Coal / wood / sawdust - burns in contact with fire and turns into ash.
- Ice - melts into water, and melts faster in contact with salt or saline.
- Snow - melts into water, and melts faster in contact with salt or saline. Floats too.
- Uranium - if it is not kept cool with water, it gets hot and melts, then if not cooled it goes critical, destroying almost everything in the blast, turning it to ash!
- Wick - absorbs liquids and burns.
- 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.
- Seeds - plant in water to see it grow.
- Plant - grows and is flammable.
- Firework - explodes sending out rockets.
- Blackhole - sucks in everything.
- Filter - allows liquids to go through, but nothing else.
- Crude oil - flammable liquid.
