The Powder Toy

No, depending on how fast / how many hit each other, it will probably make elements like this: NBLE, CO2, OXYG, PLSM, URAN, and PLUT. Maybe more if I can think of more and it's easily controllable what you make still.

Normal hitting each other, ex. drawing with the brush, won't make any of these. You have to speed them up (which is easy since PROT goes right through ACEL)

Finally, we have protons (probably)!

But no to PROT-PROT collisions.

Here's why:

Say a random user, say, Jacob, is playing with PROT.

Jacob is trying to build some sort of apparatus that uses PROT. However, one/two/three/every portion of the apparatus, which contains/channels/shoots/reflects/etc. PROT, is continuously being clogged. Why? When a proton collides with another, it makes METL/HYGN/PSCN/INSL/GAS, which the apparatus is not designed to handle.

So, PROT-PROT interactions will be very inconvenient.

If you're going to implement it, make it an option.

you have to speed them up somehow for it to actually make anything. Normal drawing and bouncing won't make anything. Also I think some type of collisions like this would be very interesting, i'm not sure what other energy particle it could collide with that would make much sense (ELEC is taken now but I guess could be changed)

(also it will probably only collide into gasses and powders, since reactions making solids doesn't really make much sense)

Then that may be useful, except for proton lasers.

Here are some reactions:
HYGN+PROT=NBLE (also hygn+neut=deut)

URAN+PROT=PLUT

TTAN+PROT=GOLD (this is a stretch)

PROT+ELEC=HYGN (duh)

PROT+PROT=...

What could it make? Science says that it couldn't make anything, but...

EDIT: Also, wouldn't P-P reactions be very rare, considering that they have to move really fast and hit each other? It would be much more likely that they would pass through each other.

I can probably do some of those.

Also I know protons colliding is unrealistic but it's still fun :) And reactions didn't seem to be very rare in my tests because of how I coded it. I will need to fiddle with it more to make it work exactly how I want. They do often pass through each other, but enough hit.

Is there a way to make PROT? (besides drawing/cloning) i.e. PHOT + ???? = PROT

EDIT: typo

for PHOT (photons), ISZS and ISOZ decay into that.

for PROT (protons) though, I just made a way to convert to and away from them. When photons go through hydrogen, it now makes Protons (imagine the light causing an the H2's electron to fall off or something ...

Also PROT+INVS = NEUT (similar to PHOT+INVS = NEUT)

PROT+NEUT=ELEC would be logical, as neut and prot are similar as phot and elec are.

nijalninja98

but if u did that and PROT was realistic with NEUT and ELEC. WHEN PROT contacts NEUT and u get ELEC, if thte ELEC then contacted with NEUT u would get H2 and with jacob1's idea of PHOT and H2 to get PROT u would get a continiuing glitch of never ending energy particles.

this could happen but may not exactly happen. i am sure that either jacob1 or other programming moderators or even Simon would figure out a way around it.

also the idea itself for PROT is very good,

yeah, I didn't do PROT+NEUT = ELEC for infinite loop reasons, it did just make Hydrogen instead

Oh, also I added VIRS from my mod (with some small changes. I used SOAP instead of a new element CURE)
