Sandscapes

- An Interactive Sand Painting Playground

-  Create mesmerizing art with physics-powered sand particles, 


- Sandscapes isn't your typical drawing app - it's a playground where you place the particles, but physics decides where they go.

What makes Sandscapes special:

🖌️40+ Unique Brushes: From rainbow and sunset palettes to special effects like ghost particles that adapt to your background, Cellular automata walls and rain-spawning clouds—each brush is a miniature simulation.

💧 Element Physics: Watch water flow, pool and seep into the ground, lava creep and glow, steam rise and fade, snow fall and melt, and seeds blossom into flowers and trees. The world evolves as you paint

🎨 Custom Brush Creation: Design your own brushes with color cycling, blend modes, random opacity, and static palettes. Save them locally and reset anytime.

🧱 Emergent Terraforming: Use cloud and wall brushes to grow ecosystems from scratch. Rain spawns seeds, seeds grow into life—Sandscapes becomes a terraforming game.

🧪 Physics-Powered Art: Every creation is unique as gravity and particle interactions make unpredictable patterns. No two canvases are alike.

🔄 Fine-Tune Your Experience: Adjust particle size, spawn rate, and background color. Limit visible brushes for mobile ease. Scroll the panel with two fingers or drag.

📷 Transparent Downloads Export your creations with a transparent background—perfect for remixing or layering.

🌈Sandscapes is perfect for relaxation, creativity, or just watching the hypnotic flow of particles. Create landscapes, patterns, or just enjoy the satisfaction of watching sand fall and settle. Sandscapes is a meditative playground for logic, art, and emergent beauty.

🌍 Share the magic! We’d love to see what you create.
