Here`s a suggestion for a option in TPT.

If you open options and press bigger screen the simulation would be bigger.

It will act the same as the gravity and air simulation option; saving would keep the option on/off

A quick search on the Wiki should turn up helpful info.

I've always wanted a larger version of TPT, but truth is, it'll slow down computers, painfully.

and there is a full screen mode that lets the game take up the whole screen.

i know how to full screen but as i said:"the simulation would be bigger."

I want a bigger simulation option...

Oh yey. But, it could confuse people with saves, some saves are saved in small window, some in bigger with bigger simulation space. So, some particles may not fit in your window...

if you open a save with gravity off the gravity will be off-_-

this is not possible at all. Every save ever made has had the same resolution, and that is defined as a constant used all over the game in many places (XRES and YRES). Even making this variable able to be changed causes a lot of problems, because you have to delete the current simulation, save renderer, and other things and create new ones every time a save has a different resolution. Also many interfaces look bad at larger sizes, because they weren't designed for it. It also causes a lot of lag having it a variable, and many people wouldn't be able to open larger saves because their computers are too slow, and they have small screens.

So we can't really do this, it requires rewriting a lot of things and a lot of work, and it would be too laggy for most people.

alright:lock this post then:D
