Is a discovery a "win"? Sure, it's user-defined. "Challenge" implies an objective or purpose.
There is purpose in discovery.
That's my point: discovery is a win-condition.

#182Wow! This thread brings back some fond memories. Long ago, I came across a tiny Java applet linked on Fark to a Japanese forum post. Everyone loved it but I found it annoyingly small. It was barely 300px x 400px. I had been coding my senior thesis in Java and had recently learned how to use a Java decompiler. So I downloaded the applet, decompiled it, spent a few minutes figuring out exactly where the dimensions were…

Select Wall. Draw "bowl". Select Water. Drop water into bowl. Select Cloner. Click beneath bowl. Select Fire. Click beneath Cloner. Observe boiling water.

This is what should happen: https://youtu.be/hW6_iA_YAOo

#184Great ! Was just looking for something like this for a snow effect. I used to do something with falling snow on text for Christmas.

The water eventually disappears.
Are you sure? I tried watching a few different setups for a while and the water level never seemed to change. Even applying fire directly to water doesn't have an effect.

#186I've always been fascinated by these simulations. Can anybody give a rough overview of how these (I guess?) fluid simulations work?

#187Make a lake of oil, set it aflame and then pour water on it. A small amount of water causes the burning oil to flare and spread. A large amount of water extinguishes the fire. Very cool!
A small amount of water causes the burning oil to flare and spread. A large amount of water extinguishes the fire. Interestingly enough, while we've all been taught "never use water on an oil fire", this is actually pretty similar to real life. Generally speaking, using water on a flammable liquids fire will just spread the fire and make it worse. But if the fire is small enough and the application rate of the water…
For an oil fire in the kitchen, use baking soda.

Baking soda can work, but it can take quite a lot of it. Depending on how big the fire is, you might not have enough in your kitchen. It may also be packed away in a cabinet somewhere out of reach. Of course the same might be true of the fire extinguisher as well... :-(

#190Ice can hold lava?
btw, adding oil over lava produces a very cool smoke effect.
