GP2X Sand is a Falling Sand clone for the handheld gaming console GP2X. This was originally a port of the SDL Sand, but there isn't much left from it in the source.
There isn't any objective in this "game" as it's more of lava lamp like experience. There are three emitters at the top of the screen spewing out sand, water and oil particles which react differently towards each-other. You are supplied with a pen to draw walls to guide and hinder the flows of these particles. The pen can also draw all particles of all other elements and is also used as an eraser.
Installation
- Download the file and extract the contents to your SD card. Most games can be installed anywhere, but some games need their own directory and some have to be installed to the root of the SD card - check this first.
- Install the SDL libraries for GP2X if necessary - see the instructions if needed.
- Launch the game with the included gpe file.
- Many games may require you to maintain the file structure within the archive - if the game seems to quit back to the menu as soon as you open it this is a common cause.
