The_Powder_Toy_+_Multiplayer_Script

Status: active
Available: Sourcecode, binary for Windows, Linux, Mac.

Multiplayer + server listing.
The Powder Toy is a sand physics simulator with limited pixelated drawing features.
While not conventionally a drawing game, it can be used for collab drawing by adding multiplayer script.
There is a LUA modding API, so this idea can be expanded further.
