The Powder Toy

The Hardest Bugs/Features to add/remove.

    These are the hardest bugs I believe to program sorry mods.

    *Sand blasting - Using pressure blasts and the coarseness of sand you could cut metal

    *Water equalization - as already mentioned a billion times (soory) a u-tube of water will equalize perhaps we need ambient pressure?

    *Liquid surface tension eg. How pondskaters float on water, how condencing liquids roll down the underside of a sheet of glass at a 30ish degree angle.

    I have no clue how to program and yet even I know these features are hard to code. :(

    None of these are bugs actually. We technically already have ambient pressure, but there's no individual pressure for masses of particles. There's no way for water on one side of a u-bend to know what the particles on the other side are doing.

    There is actually a sneaky trick to make water equalization to work, I may add it for fun.

    great idea's but can you explain please what you mean with ambient pressure? cause pressure already go's to air

    he means like (i think atleast) pressure like in a shape, like the pipe , so that when theres water on one side it would push pressure down and the pressure would go through and push the other side up

    and what might this "sneak way" be cracker64?

    @bloodlust ow like that way so if many stone particles are on each other they create pressure on each other
    thnks for explanation ;p

    Liquid surface tension is a bit useless and would be hard to code...But for realism, it would be good

    Bit useless unless we have moving solids, eh?

    Well with solids, it would very probably fall into the liquid unless the liquid is very pasty or the surface is large..Otherwise only very light powders could float on water

    So it's like...Useless in every cases..
