More progress, yay! Now the islands can be painted and removed with the mouse (left button paints, right button removes). The fluids automatically adjust themselves to flow around the islands. Seems like the boats can still hit into them too easily, so I’ll have to fix that probably somehow.. One idea I had was to make the boats indestructible, but impose a time limit on how long they are alive. So if a player isolates the boats, they will still perish after some time. Would probably add more strategy as well so I think I’ll try that.

Also tweaked the fluid look a little better. The first image was from the fluid density, this one is from the fluid velocity. The whole system started acting a lot better once I added a bit of dampening in it. So far I’m quite happy with how well it works.

Next, colored boats and goal zones..
