SAND!! Is now abandonware because I'm moving onto another type of programming and I can't really work on any of my other projects.

If you want the source you can find it here:
http://www.freepgs.com/kris/sand_source.zip
(didn't include the images - you can get them from the other zip)

You'll need allegro, which you can get from:
http://www.allegro.cc

-------------------------------------------------

A fun little timewaster sim that will keep you occupied while you wait for your Doom 3 warez to finish

Left click to create sand, and Shift-click to create land (the blue stuff). Use up+down to change the size of the cursor, and right click to delete stuff.

If you don't have alleg40.dll, grab it here and put it in the game folder or your system folder:

http://home.planet.nl/~monstrous/dl/alldll40.zip

** UPDATE!!! **

You can also press C to clear the screen or R to reset (same as clear, but resets the cursor too. Thanks Remnance)

** ANOTHER UPDATE!!! **

Now comes with yellow, red, green, blue, purple and grey sand. Use A + Z to cycle colours. Enjoy!

** UPDATE 3 **

New version out! this one comes with a bunch of new colours and the ability to add your own. It's a zip this time, because there are some extra images it needs to use.

Posted by ChrisB 4th August, 2004

My sand example in MMF was much better because it had an hourglass in it ;P j/k, nice app
 
Posted by Buster 4th August, 2004

Swell!
 
Posted by 4th August, 2004

cool!
 
Posted by ChrisB 4th August, 2004

I HAVE STOCKS IN HOURGLASSES
 
Posted by Kris 4th August, 2004

damn, that's so much neater than my one. I need to add a line tool or something :/

Posted by Kris 4th August, 2004

sweet, nice job :D What sort of colour are you thinking of? and do you mean each grain being a different colour, or all the same?
 
Posted by remnance 4th August, 2004

Very nice!:) This was made in MMF? Oh yeah, a reset button would be nice
 
Posted by Kris 4th August, 2004

nah, C++
 
Posted by JPMarkey (Jambo) 4th August, 2004

Kris> No, like a button which brings up the colour dialog (very easy to do, theres an extention that makes it easier) And then you select the colour. So, there might be 10 colours on one drawing :O http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v77/jambom/Matrixeffect.jpg
 
Posted by Kris 4th August, 2004

Ah, I see. i'll add that later. for now, you can have the yellow stuff X)
 
Posted by JPMarkey (Jambo) 4th August, 2004

O, you done it in C++ my comment about the extention was aimed at MMF XD
 
Posted by Kris 4th August, 2004

haha XD no problem, it's pretty easy to do with allegro anyway
 
Posted by JPMarkey (Jambo) 4th August, 2004

Use this as your colour screenshot! http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v77/jambom/colourcircle.jpg
 
Posted by ChrisB 4th August, 2004

Ah... this brings back memories of days when I was 5 and on holiday in Cornwall. I went to this place where they had lots of different colours of sand, and you could take all the different ones and put them in a little test tube thing and make a pretty pattern. Now I can do the same, except the red colour is too bright, and you don't have a 'burnt umber' colour. Damn you. DAMN YOU MR ALLEN! Now I have to link to my own example, with sand that doesn't move about rapidly ;P http://sfgames.clicksplat.com/images/sand.png
 
Posted by Kris 4th August, 2004

ooo, looks nice. is it downloadable?
 
Posted by Kris 4th August, 2004

PS. I think i went to that place too
 
Posted by FlameCritter 4th August, 2004

ADD WATER AND FIRE!
 
Posted by Kris 4th August, 2004

oh, i found it, but i don't have mmf. think you could upload an exe for us?
 
Posted by ChrisB 4th August, 2004

http://sfgames.clicksplat.com/download/sand.zip - it's about 160kb zipped
 
Posted by JPMarkey (Jambo) 4th August, 2004

This should be front page news!
 
Posted by Odin 5th August, 2004

Woah! Excellent. I demand this be put up on the front page since it r0x0rs j00r b0x0rs. It really does. I have a couple of additions, though. 1. Make the 'create surface' neater, so when you drag rapidly, it doesn't leave random dots; it leaves a nice solid, abliet squiggly line. 2. More colors, such as amber, orange, black, and others. Also, if you want, i'll make an icon. In fact, i'll do just that. I'll post a link when it's done. -ThO
 
Posted by Buster 5th August, 2004

I think you should be able too draw the obsticles by holding the right click button, and add some tool bar to switch to erase mode and choose the sand colour.
 
Posted by JPMarkey (Jambo) 5th August, 2004

Tho- Black? The backgrounds black, how would that work :P
 
Posted by Penguin Seph 5th August, 2004

Great App! Very fun! Thumb Up!
 
Posted by Kris 5th August, 2004

thanks for the thumbs, and the suggestions (I'll try to add some of those) :D Oh and thanks for the example Chris. Looks nice, but it needs a mass-sand-creating button :S
 
Posted by Kris 5th August, 2004

Oh and thanks for the review
 
Posted by CYS 5th August, 2004

This is just...beautiful...
 
Posted by ChrisB 5th August, 2004

"Black? The backgrounds black, how would that work :P" Invisible sand :O
 
Posted by Penguin Seph 5th August, 2004

A line tool would be nice...
 
Posted by Willy C 5th August, 2004

WOW! a 'sand simulator' you dont know how long Ive waited for something like it. Serioulsy, its neat. made in mmf or something else?
 
Posted by Odin 5th August, 2004

OK, forget black, add White. And the icon is done, but i'm too lazy to upload it. Instead, look at my rux signature: http://www.citlink.net/~dennismac/BannerPNG.png -ThO
 
Posted by ChrisB 5th August, 2004

I loved the Lost Vikings game. :D
 
Posted by ChrisB 6th August, 2004

YAY! I hope that has a continuous drawing tool, and has a 'demo mode' where you can select a spawn point for sand and it continuously flows from that point.
 
Posted by Kris 6th August, 2004

Of COURSE it does!
 
Posted by Julia 6th August, 2004

WOOOO HOOOOOOOO NOW ITS IN COLOUR!!!!!!!!!!!! :)
 
Posted by Julia 6th August, 2004

you should make things that you can put in the sand for it to float down it
 
Posted by Julia 6th August, 2004

okay okay i got some suggestions: 1. make the sand go down faster not in litlle pieces. 2. make water 3. make a game out of it like run away before the sand catches you(just a minigame to play instead of create) well good luck! ;)
 
Posted by CYS 6th August, 2004

I hope you can pause the sand from flowing so i can get ready.
 
Posted by alibaba 6th August, 2004

this is the best time waster ever. Would be cool if u added the constant flow thing too :D nice work
 
Posted by Kris 6th August, 2004

I can't really add most of that stuff (especially things that change the way things flow), mainly because it'd need a new system... which would be too slow. Sorry!
 
Posted by Silveraura 6th August, 2004

Diffrent colora now? Kewl!
 
Posted by Kris 6th August, 2004

well, i could do the flow thing
 
Posted by Kramy 6th August, 2004

Nice job Kris! :) Anything by you I download. :D
 
Posted by Penguin Seph 6th August, 2004

Could you add a line tool?
 
Posted by Louis Moon 6th August, 2004

I was suprised when this didn't originally get front-page mention.
 
Posted by Kris 6th August, 2004

kramy you're my best customer X)
 
Posted by Odin 6th August, 2004

FireMonkey loves Lost Vikings?! Hey, I have the PC version of the game, I can e-mail it to you! Just DC Mail me. Oh, and great! I love the scenery art you did in that last photograph. RoX. -ThO
 
Posted by Odin 6th August, 2004

Oh, yeah, I also came up with a little game: SAVE THE SAND What you do is, you create a litle bit of sand at the top. Then, try to 'catch' it and not let it slip down into the bottom. If you don't let any slip, you win! Bonus points are awarded as such; 1. Create an ongoing pile of sand above the 'bucket' you made. 2. When the bonus sand hits the other sand/bucket, count in seconds until the sand spills out. Multiply this number by 100. My high score is 900. ;) -ThO

Posted by J.A.P 7th August, 2004

Very good way to waste time:D!
 
Posted by Airflow 7th August, 2004

Reminds me of a really old dos puzzle game called h20, where you had to use gurders and explosives to make a path to the water tank. Kinda like lemmings. Kicks! :)
 
Posted by Wormware 7th August, 2004

Wow, that's really new and original! :D
 
Posted by Pixalatio 7th August, 2004

you are mad... but i would really like to see a water one ^^ its cool btw...
 
Posted by Shen 7th August, 2004


 
Posted by gizmo 7th August, 2004

Excellent!
 
Posted by Mr Icekirby 7th August, 2004

i don't have some dll. why isn't it in the zip file?
 
Posted by Sne 7th August, 2004

wow!
 
Posted by Kris 7th August, 2004

icekirby, read the details...
 
Posted by Mr Icekirby 7th August, 2004

oh, opps, haha
 
Posted by Yikes 7th August, 2004

Aah! You are speaking my language! I just LOVE this kind of thing and I am actually just waiting for Doom 3 all the time, so this is my kind of thing! Thank you for making me realise that there are things to do when you wait for Doom 3. :D
 
Posted by Kris 7th August, 2004

Glad to be of service. I know how much it's needed in these grim times
 
Posted by Jub 7th August, 2004

Hey, why not add little object that can be buried and roll on the sand. Like a beach ball, oh a bigger screen would be nice.
 
Posted by Odin 7th August, 2004

A resizable screen! The Toolbar would stay at the bottom and would create a blank space along the bottom, so it doesn't look botched. A beach ball would be cool. Oh, and an ability to load a background in .bmp form that streches with the resizeable screen. The cool thing is, the mouse/colors/toolbar are in .bmp form, so anybody can make skins. In fact, i'm working on taking out all the old colors in the old sand program and putting them in my pallette. -ThO
 
Posted by Strife 7th August, 2004

This application already has 40 thumbs up. It might make top 15 list, even though it's not a game. :P And I don't blame you. This is a very cool application indeed! :D
 
Posted by xXAaronXx 8th August, 2004

Pretty kewl. Here is the first one i did... http://www.freewebs.com/megaclone/sandy.bmp --this one is smaller file size-- http://www.freewebs.com/megaclone/sandysmaller.gif
 
Posted by Isvaffel- 8th August, 2004

How 'bout thingy with that you could make constant flow of sand coming, all by itself?
 
Posted by Kris 8th August, 2004

ok that's a pretty popular request. i'll add that now. Resizable screen = No :( for now at least. It has a lot of calculations to do, and a bigger screen would just slow it down exponentially. I'll look for another way to do it
 
Posted by Kris 8th August, 2004

aaron, that pic is damn good
 
Posted by Jamesbuc 8th August, 2004

My sand wont sit on the bottom :(
 
Posted by Zephyr 8th August, 2004

My game doesn't do anything... I just get a black screen.
 
Posted by Kris 8th August, 2004

jamesbuc: you have to make land at the bottom zephyr: chances are you've got an old allegro DLL. is it version 4.0.3.0?
 
Posted by Jub 8th August, 2004

Water....add water. I bet you can get a "real" effect of running water! Sand is like water in a way. You should make a water program like this.
 
Posted by Jub 8th August, 2004

Ohh what about a person. You have him walking on the sand. and when the sand falls he get buried!
 
Posted by Zephyr 8th August, 2004

Yeah, I have the dll...
 
Posted by Long John Kickbag 8th August, 2004

Connect 4 :D!
 
Posted by Radek Dziadkiewicz 8th August, 2004

Nice, but a more feature rich thing like this has been made quite a while ago, but unfortunately it was released in Polish only. Besides things found here, it features multi-color water, holes through which the sand or water dissapears, a bucket and posibility to make water or sand fall like rain. http://gad.art.pl/opis.php3?20
 
Posted by xXAaronXx 8th August, 2004

Thanks kris, i dont really like it...but I just did it quick. maybe ill do another one later.
 
Posted by Alltower 9th August, 2004

this needs a bigger window size!
 
Posted by Odin 9th August, 2004

BUT THE SAND IS INCREDIBLE! OMG
 
Posted by Liquixcat 11th August, 2004

mmm...doom 3
 
Posted by Odin 11th August, 2004

DOOM 3 SUCKS because I don't have it... And it's abandonware. Wahh. Oh, well. I should pick it up and add more stuff. -ThO
 
Posted by Strife 12th August, 2004

Nice pic Eric C. :) If this application gets 72 thumbs up, it'll knock Castlevania Haunted Castle 3 off the Top Games list. :P Sand... so much sand...
 
Posted by Kris 12th August, 2004

I doubt it, but maybe
 
Posted by Zephyr 12th August, 2004

Cool, I can play that polish one, very fun.
 
Posted by 12th August, 2004

This program is amazing. I think this is more than just a time waster, its more of a creativity tool. I just spent half the day messing with it instead of working. I thought of a few features. A clear sand only command Ability to export/import dirt maps Definately a constant sand flow option Maximize option (you said it would take a lot of resources being a bigger map so this may be a better alternative) personally i was using a magnifying glass program on it haha. Ability to flip map. Think of pressing an arrow key and the map flips upsidown or sideways. Guess thats about it. I really hope you dont abandon this, its more than a time waster.
 
Posted by Evil Monkey 13th August, 2004

This is pretty cool, even if it is a time waster. :P
 
Posted by Bruce Juice 13th August, 2004

AHHHHHHH. Another Adiction. Must Stop Playing.
 
Posted by Strife 15th August, 2004

Oh, and you should be able to save your sand creation in the form of a Bitmap file, without having to use the Print Screen button. ;) This "little time waster" has so much potential... :)
 
Posted by akim 15th August, 2004

GEAVE ME THE EMAIL ADRES OF THE 1 THAT DID THIS !!!!!PLZ!!!!!!
 
Posted by Strife 16th August, 2004

You're not a stalker, are you? LOL, only joking. :)
 
Posted by Dream Weaver 17th August, 2004

Great little game. Fun and addictive. :)

I know the doom 3 torrent and it is only fir me.
