Actors

Actors are entities that bring life to Stardust Sandbox, interacting with the environment and elements in unique ways. They can be creatures, characters, or any other beings that inhabit the game world. In general, they act on their own, following pre-defined behaviors or reacting to environmental stimuli, modifying their surroundings through element movement, temperature change reactions, or interactions with other actors.

Creatures

Creatures represent fantastic living beings that inhabit the world. They are original entities with unique design that fits the game's aesthetic, without realistic counterparts.

Gul

The Gul is a bluish, curious, small, and friendly creature that wanders the world. Its main ability is to pick up map elements, carry them, and reposition them elsewhere.

The Gul always moves one tile at a time. When it finds a blocked path, it checks if the elements obstructing its passage are pickable. If they are, it picks one randomly and carries it until finding a suitable location, such as a cliff or empty space that doesn't allow traversal.

If a wall blocks its passage again while carrying something, it turns around and backs off, repeating this cycle until depositing the element. The same occurs when encountering an impassable wall without pickable elements — it simply goes the opposite way.

The Gul takes damage when walking over extremely hot or cold elements. Additionally, Guls avoid positioning elements in locations already occupied by other entities.
