CLUSTER PARTICLE-PHYSICS-BEHAVIORS · 24 ENTRIES · EARLIEST ENTRY 2020-07-12
Interactive particle physics sandboxes
This cluster consists of interactive particle physics simulators, spanning falling-sand games, gravity visualizations, and physics sandboxes for browser, mobile, and animation plugins. The five dated entries are scattered with long gaps: Oct 2013, Jul–Aug 2020, Jul 2024, and Feb 2026, indicating no clear trend. Traction leaders by activity signal are gravitae, Particle Physics Simulator, and sand, all with 0 stars.
Entry timeline
ENTRY TIMELINE
Each bar is the month a member carries, which is a creation date where the source published one and a crawl date otherwise. Nothing in the index was found before 11 August 2026, and coverage broadened sharply on 14–15 August, so a bar from then on reports how much we found that month, not how much was built; an earlier bar reports how far back a member's own source dated it — not how long we have been watching.

Two labels per entry, never collapsed into one: how it was built, and who stands behind it. Counted over the 20 listed below. Unlabelled means nothing has decided yet — not that the answer is small.

Ranked by traction, highest first, and paged 20 at a time — this is a window on the cluster, never the whole of it. Ties are broken by a stable id so a product cannot appear on two pages or fall between them. Browse every cluster.
