You can put some buckets to fill with same colors at the bottom of the screen.
I saw a game like this, and if the lines disapear in time, this can be tricky and fun.

ofcourse multiplayer mode can be fun.. but particles and multiplayer they don't like each other
To be hunrst I wasted way to much time trying to tweek more power out of the flash engine. I actually also promised a few people here to open source the thing but have never gotten around to cleaning up the code to an extend where I felt good about it.

In the end it comes down to algorithms for moving the particles, writing something that is fast and acts correct turned out to be quite the challenge, and after wasting a week on it or so I only managed to implement two materials. Water and Sand.

Notice here that a new element must be able to interact with all the other elements making it slower each time you add a new material, and in this an extra if or two in the loop means the world.
