Why do explosives sometimes just burn fast?
-
I think it is just the way particles work in game. It isn't really annoying, so I don't think many of us here mind it too much.
-
If it's a glitch in the engine, then it's time to reprogram the base engine of TPT.

Okay, this is probably the 1000th time ive said this but i'll say it again... TPT - as with many other things - is calculated left>right, up>down, so it goes faster when going down as opposed to up. There is no real way to fix this, as the particles have to be calculated somehow, i guess the best bet would just be to have really fast processing power.

It burns fast because it's an explosion, not a slow burn (like coal) 'Nuff said

Heh, probably the only way to fix it is if all particles are calculated at the same time... As you can imagine, that would lag like hell. -

They appear that they ARE calculated at the same time, but only when lit from one side. Any other side caues them to be calculated at different times. That's what's so strange about it.
I thought the process was like in pseudo-code.
1 read the particles from the screen into an array.
2 using the values from the first array as input, calculate all changes to occur based on the rules for the different particles and write these values into a new array as they are calculated.
3 write this new array to the screen after all calculations have been done for the current frame.
4 goto 1.
Each frame therefore contains the changes for ALL particle positions as they should be for a given frame. -

Did you just blatently ignored @theguitarguy (View Post) and @me4502 (View Post) ?
