Falling sand simulation using Raylib and vcpkg for dependency management.

Building

Prerequisites

• CMake 3.21+
• C++20 compiler
• vcpkg (cloned to ../vcpkg/)

Quick Build

./build.sh

Manual Build

cmake -B build -S . -DCMAKE_TOOLCHAIN_FILE=../vcpkg/scripts/buildsystems/vcpkg.cmake
cmake --build build

Running

./build/sandstone

• Basic Input handler
• Gases
• Density
• Basic text on UI
• Controls expanded
  • Q and E to switch elements
