Dust is a sandbox cellular automata simulation where simple rules create complex, emergent behavior.

Shape your world using dozens of interactive elements like flowing liquids, shifting powders, rising gases, and reactive materials, and watch them evolve in real time. Fire spreads, water evaporates, metal corrodes, plants grow, and systems you build can spiral into chaos or stabilize into something unexpected.

Inspired by classic falling-sand simulations, Dust emphasizes experimentation and discovery. There are no objectives, just a dynamic playground where physics, chemistry, and a bit of randomness collide.
