The Powder Toy

Spring and Motor

    Spring is simple, just a non-powered piston that expands upon unpause or the removal of an obstruction. 

     

    Motor...is far more complicated...but possibly could be another solution to moving solids. The idea is simple, when used with frame it rotates a circle of pixals aroud it. Diameter would be set by tmp and speed (in frames per rotational unit) by tmp2. Now,...should it rotate in degrees or radians? 8-P Anyway, I'll look up a rotation algorithm (there has to be some for video games) that might be compatable with Powder Toy. I'll post a link if I find a good one. And...yes...if you try to turn a square only a circle of it will turn. If the edges of the circle go outside the square then the square will be destroyed. 

     

    EDIT: The add box says that 2 people are spying on me. (OH GOD! WHY?!) Anyway...trigonometry,

    erg, rotation might be ugly. mebbie something else? I could see things being messed up royally, and what exactly would it do? mebbie when we get gears, it could power them or something...

    spring is good. Motor? hmm...

    Well, what would obstruct spring? We need to define that, otherwise they'll only move powders and liquids, and that's rather useless.

    The motor reminds me of Powder Game..

    No, that's not what I meant. I meant a maximum movable pixals limit like piston.
