[.toe file] In this one we build an SDF out of a JFA from the previous tutorial and along with reflect component we solve collision with whatever 2D shape/contour. I really hope you like this.

[.toe file] In this, we build a Jump Flood algorithm using cones and a particle system that runs around the shape. There are plenty of glsl tools for this particular algorithm that are significantly faster, but I'm glad I found this approach.

this is my take on solving vectors reflection. Will use this heavily in the next tutorials as we solve collision particles with whatever shape/contour. This component is available for all the members. Thank you massive for your support.

here is my method for having ramps of several different lengths arranged in a rectangular texture - always moving. This can take a large amount of textures and still run very fast. I will be using this one often in my future builds. I really hope you like this. Please do not share the link, this one is for Patrons only. Thank you massive for your support.

[.toe file] here's my 'clumsy' method of doing falling snow with just a couple of operators. This method was inspired by @shrekly9 and @_ignatiuslow_ and I call it 'clumsy' because it might look discouragingly wrong ...but it's juicy enough. I hope you like this method. Thank you massive.

[.toe file] this is my take on a falling sand algorithm done entirely in TOPs. The simulation can take millions of grains and also sample sand from a texture. With this technique you can get some crazy handmade 'glitch'. I hope you like this method. Thank you massive.

[.toe file] here's an easy method for building a DG algorithm using mostly TOPs. For the relaxing part, we'll make it like in the 'particle collisions' tutorial. However, the resample part in this tutorial is done in SOPs ...for my patrons, I'll have a resample tool done entirely in TOPs. I got inspired by @benandthemachine and @juhani.halkomaki.
