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.

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.
