My new suggestions thread

    This thread contains more feature suggestions than element suggestions. :)

    Here is the old thread if you really want to read it: https://powdertoy.co.uk/Discussions/Thread/View.html?Thread=1417

    Anyways...

    Changes to current elements:

    INSL - Make it indestructible please.
    FILT - I know many people want this: can you make it also have purple and pink?
    O2 and BOYL make water (and sometimes fog), H2 and O2 do nothing.

    Element suggestions:

    CGAS - Conductive gas. Burns at high temperatures. Element properties - A gas that conducts and doesn't turn into anything when sparked. By high temperatures I mean it turns to plasma at 1000C

    ICDT - Indestructible conductor. Element properties - Diamond that conducts. Its bad to see awesome spark mazes that get destroyed afterwards.

    GOLD - Gold. Very conductive. - Element properties - Like METL, but the sparks move faster through it. (thats what I mean by very conductive)

    Feature suggestions:

    Local saves - User can save saves locally without the use of stamps.

    Multiple simulations in one window - Using a hidden subdirectory of the stamps folder, the simulation will be saved temporarily locally and a temporary log will be created that tells TPT witch simulations are open. Pressing the T key will show you witch simulations are currently active. Max 20 open at once. Saving locally and keeping a temporary log that will be deleted as soon as TPT exits will save you the FPS.

    Redo - Would make it alot easier to use the shape and line tool.

    Undo and Redo buttons - For the TPT newbies. These would fit nicely between the tags box, and the compatibility button.

    Diagonal brushes - You can resize the brush vertically and horizontally, but holding the ALT (or Option key on a Mac) key will resize it to point NE/SW, and holding the ENTER key (or return key on a Mac) will adjust to point NW/SE.

    Custom brush editor - Pressing B opens up something similar to the Zoom box where it is by default 9x9 and can go up to 15x15.

    Brush library - Pressing J will open up a little bar at the side that contains the normal circle and square brushes and what ever other brushes the user has made. There will be a scroll bar if there is more than 6 in the bar.

    Undo log - Pressing U will reveal a log of what you did since you opened a save, so you can go back 5 or 6 actions in a click.

    More sensitive undo - Have you noticed when you've used the shape or line tool to make multiple things, and you make a mistake, and when you undo, it undoes ALL the lines or shapes you made? With more sensitive undo, it only undoes the last shape or line you made, not all the things you made with that tool when you used it the first time.

    And thats all!

    INSL - Make it indestructible please.
    make it burn less.
    FILT - I know many people want this: can you make it also have purple and pink?
    agreed.
    O2 and BOYL make water (and sometimes fog), H2 and O2 do nothing.
    use fire to ignite H2 and 02.
    CGAS - Conductive gas. Burns at high temperatures. Element properties - A gas that conducts and doesn't turn into anything when sparked. By high temperatures I mean it turns to plasma at 1000C
    Plasma only occurs at above 3500C.

    ICDT - Indestructible conductor. Element properties - Diamond that conducts. Its bad to see awesome spark mazes that get destroyed afterwards.
    lol no

    GOLD - Gold. Very conductive. - Element properties - Like METL, but the sparks move faster through it. (thats what I mean by very conductive)
    lol yes

    1) Suggested. Very easy to code so make one yourself.
    2) Easily made. Combine Blue and Red. Learn elementary art.
    3) I made this. Very buggy.
    4) Same as 1)
    5) Suggested. Can't speed up sparks. Use INST.
    6) Save to a file might be nice.\
    7) Laaaaaaaaaaag
    8) Not needed. If you screw up your undo you should be able to redo the exact same action
    9) CTRL+Z is not hard to learn...
    10) Only one use, creating slopes, and that can be accomplished with the line tool.
    11) B triggers the decoration layer in beta 48. Also, pressing [ or ] will cause the size to increase.
    12) Not needed

    Maybe 2000C for purple, and 2250C for pink.

    For the last two, I argued stupidly about this. It isn't happening soon, I believe.

    you can make a purple and pink laser with a 1 pixel thick beam with filt. Just look at the mini lasers on the front page. ;)
