[klrxjhpo] Sandbox explosions

Create a sandbox style game in which one can blow things up.  There already exists a subgenre of Minecraft for this kind of fun, including mods for more and more powerful explosives.  Do better than Minecraft, for some definition of better, perhaps realism.

The scale can range from people to planes to buildings to entire planets.  (Too soon?)  Inspired by the Jack Bauer Interrogation Technique in Man on Fire.  As gruesome as a game may be, it would add nothing to what has already been depicted on screen.

One way to do better than Minecraft is to capture the human element realistically: people getting maimed, panicking, and otherwise suffering, for a pleasurable game of Schadenfreude.
