Bouncing ball?

    Dan-Ball uses Java, we use a more primitive langugage.

    It's impossible to make moving solids in Powder Toy. Because of the particle simulation.

    Moving solids + deformations. I think, it's hard and it will lags. Moving undeformable solids making is easy, but it for other games. With particle simulation it's possible (with non-integer coordinates), but this requires a powderful computer.

    Moving solids are possible to make, but they would be a little glitchy. I am going to put a bouncy ball in my mod, but it is just a ball and doesn't have rotation or complicated physics, it just bounces away from other particles it gets near. It would be a lot less glitchy than the one in the lua script, though, and even though everyone says it would lag, it actually wouldn't do that at all, and doesn't take that much code.

    i needed java to be able to play TPT and what about scripting it so STKM can roll like a ball?

    Don't necro. It's against the rules.

    Also, that wouldn't work that well. It would be floppy and not bouncy, not a proper rigid moving solid. I guess it would be kinda like SOAP bubbles, that respond to gravity. Probably glitchy, though.

    Like, heres like you do it.
    1) Make dust.
    100) type "!set type dust dmnd" in the console (LOLOFCOURSEWITHOUTQUOTES)
    100000) You have a moving solid.
    1000000000000000000000000) Do this with some other solid.
