  1. In some games (Terraria, Noita) the water flow is simulated, as in, if you create a hole in a water body, the water flows out through that hole. Unfortunately, these games are wrong about physics: connected surfaces do not balance to the same level. I do not know any games which do not have this issue.

    Here is a simple simulation which does balance correctly. The @ is taken by the currents.

    (On the right, it appears that there is more water after the simulation -- this is not a bug, this is because this is the "hyperbolic platformer" and the blocks are actually smaller below. Old video about the platformer: youtube.com/watch?v=0riQhP_oZlQ )
