    Room names are private, with no public directory of room names right now.

    To own a room, check the /register command
    There are other commands you can use while owner of a room. /register makes your ownership permanent.

    why do i need a beta client to publish saves they are never working on my pc due of my pre installed windows 10 os

    and im 12 years how do i even use then? where can i find a working one? plese fix this beta client stuff

     

    on my rating TPT is a 87/100 also can you add a thing so you can vote a 2nd time cause i misclicked 

     

    make a element that stores 250bits per pixel how? make higher ctypes or life also add more gates to filt i need then for a project or it wont work

    Well first, you don't need the beta to publish saves. Just use version 96.2 for now. Being able to undo votes is added in the beta though, so you can undo misclicks if use use it. I doubt an element that can store 250 bits in a pixel will be added, I recommend working around this.

    A New Beta has been released, 97.0b (build 351). We intend to make a full release soon, but for now want as much feedback as possible to fix any potential issues or bugs.

    To download the beta, use the below link. You can also go to Settings and check "Enroll in beta updates". But be aware that you will not be able to publish saves from the beta. Also, no beta exists for Android, it is PC-only. But, Android will update at the same time as the full 97.0 release.

    do you have any fancy antivirus software or just windows defender?
  • jacob1     28th Dec 2022 Developer 0 Permalink
    @BlueLobsterTPT (View Post)
    TPT isn't a virus, but all new versions always appear to be flagged as one. I wrote about it here.

    You can tell Windows Defender to ignore it and open it anyway. Any "virus" with a name ending in "!ml" is a false positive, based on the fact that this .exe hasn't been seen in the wild before. It goes away after a week or two.

    I encountered this one glitch that happend when i was messing around with a GoL Element I made (B5/S168/12) while making protons fly all around the screen. A few minutes later The GoL Element that I made started to turn into the most Glitched/Broken GoL element I ever seen (B12345678/S012345678). I don't know if this is normal or if it's a bug that happens when you mess with GoL elements in the game so if it is a bug then please fix it...
