Falling sand and the yugas

The Oldie (the acme of life from the cradle to the grave, 'buy it before you snuff it'), anyway, where was I? Yes, the Oldie emailed me with the falling sand game. It seems that in Oldie Towers business was well interrupted by this interactive game of life and, yes, death.... The sands of time ....

Why include it here, what's it got to do with philosophy? Well, play it and see. One tip is to start by using the 'wall' (all options are displayed at the bottom). If you're like me you'll want to 'save' the elements, then mould them and then, when the screen resembles a Jackson Pollock painting, you'll want out, and that's when the wheel of life and death starts turning....

There's a hell option in case you haven't had enough.
