The Powder Toy

Water balls in no gravity mode

    I think that powdertoy should make water ball up when in no gravity and when split it will turn into 2 water ball etc.

    the thing is, powder toy doesn't simulate the tensile dynamics of fluids, its just pixels
    But, if moving particles can be sources of gravity themselves, then something similar to your suggestion might be possible. However I'm not sure if that's the case.

    Yeah, no skin on water in Powder Toy. Could be done, but I'm not sure surface tension would be a welcome addition to already-laggy liquids.

     any way at ALL to make it less laggy?

    Make less calculations about its position, making it less realistic?
    Discovering a better and more efficient algorithm to solve such calculations with relative computational ease?
    Getting a better processor so those massive amounts of calculations don't lag up your screen?
    You name it!

    I never thought of the of does:/

    I think you are trying to get this implemented as far as possible. Well, (hate my iPad, autocorrection makes well we'll) if you think it is possible to make it non-laggy(hate it again, it was made nonaggresession). Either it will be laggy, or no one will make it because they prefer easier and more interesting things.
