Sand Sim 2D

A demo sand simulator inspired by the 2D sand simulator showcased by Petri Purho in his 2019 GDC Talk, "Exploring the Tech and Design of Noita".

At the moment, it only supports Linux. Unix-like OSes, such as macOS and FreeBSD, may be supported but it is not guaranteed.

This project is intended to be a quick weekend project, so please do not expect the code to be production-ready.

Building

Prerequisites

• C++ compiler that supports C++17 (e.g. GCC 9).
• CMake (>= 3.1)
• Conan

Compilation

$ cd /path/to/project
$ mkdir build
$ cd build
$ conan install ..
$ cmake ..

Running

The binary is stored inside the bin/ directory inside the build/ directory. Running the simulator simply involves invoking the program, sand-sim-2d.

In the terminal, if you are still in the build directory, it can be via:

$ ./bin/sand-sim-2d

Otherwise, you have to perform:

$ cd /path/to/wherever/bin/is
$ ./sand-sim-2d

Projects Used

This project uses SFML and the Source Code Pro font from Adobe.
