Recreating Noita's Sand Simulation in C and OpenGL | Game Engineering

John Jackson demonstrates how to build a 2D falling-sand cellular automata simulation from scratch using C and OpenGL.

Exploring and attempting to recreate Noita's "Falling-Sand" Simulation from scratch using C and OpenGL. Be sure to like and subscribe, you cool people. That way I can continue to make more vids like this. NOTE: There's a typo @2:07. I wrote "bytes" when it should be "bits" for the gs_vec2, color_t, and b32 member variables for the particle struct. So the overall size should be *drastically* different (only 24 bytes in total).
