    Ever dreamed TPT with sound? Here is it!

    TONE (not NOTE)

    -Creates tone when SPRKed

    -When it's tmp 0, it plays a note with temp stands for it's pitch.

    -When tmp is:

    0, it plays a note.

    1, it plays 'kaboom' sound

    2, it plays 'bloop' sound

    3, it plays 'zap' sound, et cetera.

       the music is generated with .wav file, except the pitched note played by creating sine wave.

    Well..........

    Did you ever think about lag saves?

    Idea is fine but suggested tons of times

    If we have a sound particle, why dont we make it like the noteblocks in minecraft? it makes a pitch of a tone determined by its temp or something.

    Powdertoy is not meant to be realistic.

    @mniip I liked it. Ok everyone the game would sound childish now if we make realistic noises that dont cause, major lag i'll stay on TPT now if we get zap and bloop, kaboom I'LL BE LEAVEING TPT and never coming back to it, you might see me updateing my twitter page or biography or get on the forum to see hows everyone doing. I don't, want to see TPT fall and go like powder game did cause it didn't update fast enough to keep up with games like it,  but if TPT does this you won't see me on the game or forum, wiki just maybe if they do make realistc noises i'll stay, on TPT i really don't want this game to add sound at all leave it alone it's where it's at.

    hmm...maybe. but-NO ELEMENT IS GOING TO BE ADDED WITHOUT USES. that is the problem. what's the use of such an element? if i don't like to stay in the silence i just play music in the background :P

    The point is to add a whole new level of entertainment to the game. That is why it keeps being suggested. Just like normal movies are way better than silent movies. You could have the game make simple music and have actions that follow along.
