_Drawing Sand_

[@hakolao](https://github.com/hakolao) published a

[tutorial](https://www.okkohakola.com/posts/sandfall_tutorial/) about creating

[cellular automata](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conway%27s_Game_of_Life)

sand fall simulations with compute shaders.

Typically, cellular automata sand fall is done with the CPU due to the two way

relationship between the cells on a grid. This article shows a way to tackle

sand fall creation using compute shaders to achieve massive parallelism.

Additional to compute shaders, this tutorial is a great introduction to the

[Vulkano](https://github.com/vulkano-rs/vulkano) library. It also works as a

good base for learning how to create simple graphics pipelines. You will also

get to use Bevy and Egui.
