suggesting improvements on powder toy
-
I have few ideas that i want to add to the new version of powder toy these include: 1. Gravity mode soilds are uneffected by gravity and do not fall to the gound unless melted or if the soild becomes a powder i want a mode (when you pause the games) when you press a button and draw something and see it be effected by gravity and also can be lauched from a gun using gun powder2. Alloying (mixing two metals together) i also want the element metal deleted and i want to add steel and other metals added to replace metal.3.simplfication of the console e.g. instead of !set spng vx (number) write set spng speed (number)km/p west 4.Walls and life are hard to cannot be edited using the decoration editer.5. Walls take 16 pixels per block can you make wall1 pixel one block.5.Can you ban no copying and if any saves are stolen can you punish them.6. MOD election you mods aren't going to play powder toy forever(unless you use bots) so i want every one in powder toy to be able to vote in a MOD. Thank of you times MODS, devlopors and the creator.

1 solids are gravity immune already, moveable solids are rejected and probably will be impossible until quantum computers become commercially available.
2 alloying is too difficult to code and removal of metal will break many saves.
3 console is as simple as it can get, devs are now working on more complex functions for it.
4 still life patterns can, walls sound like a good idea.
5 that's the mods job.
6 mods and admins elect mods.Edited by code1949, 2011-06-30 09:30:16 -

Rejected 10^10^100 times.
2. Alloying (mixing two metals together) i also want the element metal deleted and i want to add steel and other metals added to replace metal. Metal is stereotyped. Nothing more needed. For performance. Alloying is also not needed as there practically is alloying, just pour two metal lava-s together and cool them down. the effect is IRL as well.
3.simplfication of the console e.g. instead of !set spng vx (number) write set spng speed (number)km/p west The console is for advanced users. If you aren't one, don't use it.
4.Walls and life are hard to cannot be edited using the decoration editer. Walls are neutral to elements and deco and will stay that way. Learn life. Life can't be edited cause particles create and destroy almost every frame.
5. Walls take 16 pixels per block can you make wall1 pixel one block.Walls are meant to be bigger than elements. That sets them apart. No way making these smaller will help, as it slows the game down too much.
5.Can you ban no copying and if any saves are stolen can you punish them. That's what moderators are for.
6. MOD election you mods aren't going to play powder toy forever(unless you use bots) so i want every one in powder toy to be able to vote in a MOD. Thank of you times MODS, devlopors and the creator.Mods are selected by mods and will stay that way.
These aren't improvements, they'll slow down the game.Edited by boxmein, 2011-06-30 09:49:26 -
On the topic of speed improvements, I am wondering what the devs/Simon/others think about having an increased resolution with an electronics mode where gravity won't exist, there will be no collision checking except for ARRAY, BRAY, and of course, spark. There will be no pressure and you might be able to get rid of some more things.
This never got either rejected or accepted so I'm wondering if it has just got lost in the void of ancient suggestions.

Sorry for kinda hijacking your thread ;) -

No, it would be toggleable and if something was made in this electric toy then it would open up with the electric toy options set, if not, it would just be normal TPT.
