GameEngineering/EP01_SandSim

Recreating Noita's Falling Sand Simulation | Game Engineering - EP01

Inspired by Noita, this is a simple "falling sand" simulation to demonstrate the mechanics and ideas behind Cellular Automata.

NOTE(john): Currently requires at least OpenGL v3.3 to run. This will be addressed in the future to allow for previous opengl versions.
