    Hi.
    When bored at lunchtimes or in my free time at school, I would normally enjoy Powder Toy. But as it is obviously the tool of the devil and the spawn of Satan, the technicians have decided to block it, despite the fact that it is a great educational tool if you're interested in electronics.

    The system they rely on, however, is quite simple; it filters for Application names, and if one is deemed evil enough, it shuts it. And my question is - is there any tutorial or simple method of Changing the name under which it runs, from "The Powder Toy" to something more random that can be altered if its blocked again without that much hassle?

    you would have to learn how to compile, look at the wiki and read through the tutorial and when you have managed to compile a clean source(un altered) pm me and i will tell you how to change the name.

    If you don't want to compile it, you could try using my mod, I changed the name to Jacob1's mod. They might also block that though if they catch you using it, so you might have to end up compiling it yourself. I think the line to change is in an sdl function in graphics.c. My mod is up to date except for some of the newest stuff from the beta.
