Please provide a list of this site's past struggle sessions so I can:
A - avoid them
B - deliberately invoke them in a trollish manner
on a case by case basis depending on my mood at the time.

It's marvelous. Add it!
Ludum Dare start dates are the greatest jump scare in all of gaming.
I never know when those things are coming.
Air is a compressible fluid, so ultimately you'll need Navier-Stokes, but actually figuring out how to translate those equations into code is infamously annoying, so definitely check out an existing solution instead of trying to implement from the equations. Foster & Metaxas is an old a grid-based solution. Theirs is designed for incompressible fluids (water), but I think it should be fine if you raise β₀.
There's a lot of math in the paper, but it's easier to implement than it looks (each step, run [2] on every cell once, then run [6] [7] [8] on every cell ~6 times), and it's mostly just transcribing equations. It's super fiddly though, just incredibly fiddly, expect to have to spend a lot of time debugging.
There are probably suitable simpler solutions too though, so definitely spend some time searching for them (or just copyable implementations of Foster & Metaxas) before diving into that.
The children should be mining, in Minecraft.
Cube 2 / Sauerbraten is apparently still being updated.
It's been like 15 years since I played it lol. But I remember it being a good Quake/Unreal style deathmatch shooter with a really sick level editor.
