    What version are you using?
    Also, the update is supposed to be out, but people are waiting for @Simon to release it.

    That's awesome!

    Anyway, those stdout.txt and stderr.txt files are created next to Powder.exe (or the Working Directory if you fiddled with the shortcut menu), but they vanish right after you close TPT. They may have at one point contained error (or status) logs, but now are exactly useless. You can write to these files within Lua scripts, though.

    @jacob1 @Mrprocom Mrprocom, My "The Powder Game" version is 90.1.

    And jacob1. Now It deleted stdout and stderr. But wait. There was another one called "powder.pref".

    Don't delete powder.pref, that is where the settings are stored.

    If the files annoy you maybe you should put TPT in another folder on the desktop.

    By the way, The Powder Game is an entirely different game.
    It's called The Powder Toy (also known as TPT) :P

    Why is "Powder.exe" on your desktop anyway? Any stamps and local saves will be stuffed into the desktop too, among with all the files you just mentioned. Try putting it in a folder and putting that folder in My Documents or some place, then making a shortcut on the desktop to TPT.

    @boxmein I will put my TPT in my new folder. Is that ok? and this is why I put TPT into desktop.

    Its because its hard to find because they'res bunch of random files.

    I would suggest you create a Games folder somewhere, store TPT in there, and then create a shortcut to the powder.exe on your desktop, as @boxmein (View Post) said. This way you can have only the important - frequently needed - software on your desktop, and all the additional files somewhere out of your way.
