Stan44 986750c722 Massive changes to the repository have been made.
feat: Performance optimizations and UI improvements

- Added dormant state tracking for static particles
- Fixed settings menu particle spawn overlap
- Optimized particle batch processing
- Added brush cursor visualization
- Improved UI interaction zones
- Enhanced gas particle effects
- Added glow toggle functionality disabled by default due to performance impact
- Fixed particle rendering issues
- Debug Overlay Disabled by default
- FPS counter added semi seperate from Debug Overlay, Turn this one off when using Debug Overlay
- Improved particle rendering performance

Performance improvements focus on reducing unnecessary calculations for static particles while maintaining core simulation mechanics. UI changes prevent unwanted particle spawning during menu interactions.

# ***Falling Sand Simulation Concept in Python***
mostly a concept in python for falling sand simulation
i guess the goal is to make a python version of the powder toy which is a falling sand sim
the code is not finished yet, but i will update it as i go.
Main Features:
-------------
- Particle Physics
- Gravity and wind effects
- Temperature dynamics
- State transitions (melting, freezing, evaporation)
- Particle Interactions
- Collision detection
- Chemical reactions (e.g., water + sand = mud)
- Heat transfer between particles
- Special Effects
- Fire propagation
- Smoke generation
- Liquid spreading
- Optimization Features
- Spatial partitioning grid
- Dormant particle tracking
- Batch processing
