that is a lot of work. it would have to be a work in progress while the current version stays up. as for the five star idea, i dont think it is as good as showing the amount of votes up (which i think should be implemented along with what we have right now) would be. another thing to worry about would be the licensing. if im not mistaken, a different coding language would mean a renewed license. i might be mistaken though.

@code1929 You do realize that there is little to no coorelation between what Ha55ii's community wants and what Ha55ii wants? The ideals you refer to are either community input (PG has none) or realism (PG also has none), so these "older members" apparently know nothing about PG or how it operates.

Yes, I responded to this thread simply because it has the words Powder Game in it. I scan for those. If you're going to pretend to know what you're talking about with Powder Game I suggest you consult with someone that has actually played it, extracted it, and attempted contact with its developer. I don't care how old you are on PT, you still know nothing about how PG works or how it fell, or even if it fell.

As to the main conversation: Yes, it is a very bad idea to do anything that will break previous saves. Very bad indeed. Which is why, Code, PG has never done it.

I only started playing powdertoy recently, I used to play Powder Game, I played PG for two whole years and witnessed its take over by n00bs. I saw all those "vote and a glitch will occur","vote for these new elements", "vote or die" and the "My [insert family member or pet] just died" saves. Then I saw PG dying, notice that stickranger is now updated much more frequently than PG and even when PG is updated it is only a function that is added. I suggest that you deter from such comments unless you actually know my history.

I never said anything about PG breaking saves.

I am amazed that I am considered an "older" member considering that I only started using the forums relatively recently.


I am rather interested in this:

Why do you scan for those words?

Yeah, let this thread just run its natural course (which judging by the lack of activity is off a cliff).

There wasn't much activity here in the past few days either, mainly just two modders discussing the coding required for an engine overhaul.

I know, I was just saying that boxmein and randalserrano were just discussing that on this thread, not much activity related to the topic.

As far a mercury goes, I agree there should be changes to it. First off, it has a tendency to start a spark loop. Second, it needs to be able to do more things, like either solidify or turn something into something. Third, it will need to be a little more regulated as far as expansion and contraction goes. When I coded it, i was just doing the basics for mercury, which is really deut that conducts. I have made a few more things in my mod as far as mercury goes. (solidifying, vaporization, ect.) I'm hoping to start getting more things implemented into mercury soon.
