So... is The Powder toy now going to have an entire Multilayer function complete with sepreate server space and complementary peanuts, or is this going to be an optional mod that people can download?
I don't think the ID and password system would work for multiplayer, mainly because the players are on different computers and operating systems. I think it would be better to have a save made by Simon titled TILPT (The Internet-Linked Powder Toy). It would be a multi-server, one-room virtual world with your stickman highlighted by a number that indicates your health. The server list would be the save you start at,with each server a seperate room, and each server would go off the list when it's full. You will respawn automatically in the topleft corner when you die, and you could even put in STK2 to act as a buddy. If you want your STKM to respawn somewhere else, you simply select STKM from the element selection, and then click where you want him to respawn. As for the money, you can play for free, but you only get the elements, walls, and features (excluding "blue tags") that were introduced before v50.0. To get the rest, you would need to get membership. This would only apply to the virtual world.
Pretty ingenious for a 15-year-old, eh?

Don't talk as if us 15-year olds can't be ingenious :)
I dont like that system though. Not only can it be potentially buggy, and laggy, and glitchy, and would need constant moderation, but membership? That may end up in flames (in more ways than one). Plus, the devs wanted to make TPT free so that everyone can use it, no money will bee involved. The closest They'll ever get to memberz was played out a few months ago.
But there could be a way to create this... But I just don't know how the whole server thing would be constructed...
Sounds brilliant dude. That's a good way, maybe have a room, where you need to make a special electronic to break a lock.
well if we have multiplayer then i could work w/ electronics on the zelda project without doing seperate jobs but the same one together it would be faster! and if there wasn't chat then signs and it could be building contest side by side! the possibilities are endless(ish)
