What is The Powder Toy?
The Powder Toy is a falling-sand physics sandbox for experimenting with materials and the machines you can build from them. Draw solids, liquids, gases and electronic components into the simulation, then watch how heat, air pressure, gravity and material interactions change the scene. You can build a landscape, wire a device or explore a saved creation instead of starting from an empty field.
The community save browser lets you find other players' experiments, while a Lua API supports automation and plugins. Online features such as saving require a registered account. The standalone game is free and open source; this entry links to the publisher's Apple-silicon DMG, not the separate legacy Mac package or Steam edition. The publisher pages checked here do not specify a minimum macOS version for this download, and the application has not been run for this entry.
What it offers
- Simulate air pressure and velocity, heat, gravity and interactions between substances.
- Build scenes with solids, liquids, gases and electronic components.
- Browse community saves or upload your own creations.
- Automate experiments and extend the game through its Lua API.
Good to know
- Online features such as saving require a registered account.
