Nutty idea--multiple layers
-
I'm sure this is logical but like, wouldn't running parallel layers in the game be equivalent to simply running two powder toys at once?
...And take just as much processing power? D:
It's a wonderful idea but we don't have that kind of raw computing power yet. -

Well not exactly, since the other layers will only be for specialized elements(aka electronics) so the full simulation will not be needed for it to run.(there was some old electronics-only clone of powder toy that ran on windows mobile phones, which obviously cant run the full powder toy.)
That and maybe some other reasons that i may not know, but yes it will slow it down, but not as much as another full powder toy per layer.
Unless some crazy optimization and multi threading stuff is going on.

necro much? -
Allow me to point out several facts:
1) Many people have independently thought of and suggested this.
2) There would be huge performance issues, even with threading
3)It would require a large rewrite
It is a good idea(why so many people have suggested it), but it would be too hard to implement. Even with the bonuses of being able to attach displays to processors and allowing huge processor components, it would require a large amount of work. -
Epic idea... I would truly need it but there is hard work to do... Kind of... The idea is to fit more layers and to make link elements. I think O_e
