@TodePond I used to write this kind of code on the Atari ST. There was a game on that platform (not by me) called Downfall which was all about falling snow. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SHZB9nIzZ64

There was also a game on the Archimedes called Cataclysm which was based on controlling the flow of simple water partcles. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3Byyz1Vlv8w

Recent discussion about the perils of doors in gamedev reminded me of a bug caused by a door in a game you may have heard of called "Half Life 2". Are you sitting comfortably? Then I shall begin.
