Wow that is really cool!!! Sadly I can’t convert it to blocks as it is too big. ☹  
Keep up the good work and maybe make away too visually determine which size you are placing and a (grid?) for the different elements. I enjoyed playing this immensely 🙂

I went ahead and fixed the cursor:

> **[Bit Box](https://arcade.makecode.com/S13836-24312-02880-41063)**
>
> Made with ❤️ in Microsoft MakeCode Arcade.

sadly I can’t add anymore pixel types. only 15 colors and air.  
But, if you guys think any type should be replaced with something else, let me know!

lights turn on when next to electricity.  
Electricity is produced by metal (once it touches the metal).  
If you put some light blocks near the metal that has electricity around it, the lights will turn on.

as for the humans, we would have to remove another element. Makecode arcade only allows 15 colors and 0/air. The cellular automata I made for this game uses each color as its own element.

I added some features:

>
> A fun sandbox game featuring cellular automata! Build your own little world in this box-sized particle playground!

I added mouse controls for laptop users and made the right-mouse-click delete particles.

I hope you guys find these new features useful!

once again asking for humans, also you can manipulate pxt.json to change the transparency color and then get an extra color

I could do that trick to add a color, yes, but as it is right now it is very laggy. I don’t think I want to add another color. If I get enough people who want that extra color, then I’ll add it.

I could add some kind of sprite as a human, but I like the game as it is.

Something I do want to add though is a title screen and better UI.

I think that’d be a good addition, I don’t feel like any new material need to be added.
