A falling sand game!
I was thinking of making a game like many I've seen before, http://dan-ball.jp/en/javagame/dust/ being one of the seemingly well known ones on this website. What elements should I add to the game (ex, fire, nitro, water, c4, oil, stone, metal)? I'd love any ideas for different elements, especially ones that aren't found in the flash/java falling sand games.

Re: A falling sand game!
Check out Powder toy http://powdertoy.co.uk/
It's an awesome program, it's like that but with many more things. You could add some stuff of that 
In my school, where people play on the computer all day, around half of them are on there. It's quite fun to make explosions.
But, making a particles game would be hard work. I tried to make a collab like this, but only one person joined
This is a particles project on Scratch: http://scratch.mit.edu/projects/ASDev/1926982
It's pretty good, though as you see, as there's no cloning device, you'd need many sprites (1 for each particle). So, I'd recommend waiting for 2.0, as I think there'll be a clone block.
With a straight flush.

I knew there was a duplicate button, but I can only duplicate the sprite so many times before it just turns into a lagfest O-o I was thinking of making a beta version with a couple hundred or a thousand "dots" or so to see how well it turns out online.

I don't play games in school, I listen. It's also in Spanish, that's why, if I don't pay attention I'm screwed
But I'm pretty sure you should make it in Scratch 2.0. You should also probably ask andres or paddle if there'll be a clone block in a comment or something.
