Novas Custom elements Mod/Script
-
Hi guys i have decided to post this as an autorun because it was requested by a few people so just save the code below into a text file named autorun with the extension .lua and have fun :D. Not the < & > thingys
I also need help with the "solid hydrogen" and "solid oxygen" elements .. possibly tritium

tpt.el.salt.description="Magnesium. Explosive metal"
tpt.el.salt.flammable=5000
tpt.el.salt.explosive=10

tpt.el.desl.diffusion=1
tpt.el.desl.gravity=0
tpt.el.oxyg.name="SOXY"
tpt.el.oxyg.description="Solid oxygen. Ignites easily (buggy)"

And do that from the HTML editor...
When they told me about it, Imtried just typing it with those in the wysiwyg editor...

I think there is a button that lets you directly edit html on the right. But I don't like the editor anyway, it breaks some stuff and makes all of your posts very ugly (internally, you can't see how ugly unless you turn it off and edit a post you made) -
Well technically i did change something and not anyone can do it but i do understand that what i did was very simple and this is because im still quite young (fourteen) and i would like to learn code and at a steady pace
do you have any suggestions as to what i could add?

I'd recommend you create new elements instead of replacing the defaults. Look it up in the wiki and you'll find out how.
If you'd like to learn code, Lua isn't the best place to start. I recommend you try JavaScript or QML instead.
You could use ActionScript as well, it's very easy, but outdated.
Oh, and whatever you do, NEVER take formal classes on it.
EDIT: I'm saying it isn't the best place to start because it's easy, but it isn't independent. It always requires another code as base, which means if you have errors in the base code, you'll have a problem. If the base code is C++ (Which is the case of Powder Toy), you'll have a BIG problem, as it's one of the hardest-to-learn languages.
I recommend you start off with JavaScript and HTML5, both are easy.

At first, Lua is a quite good starting point for beginners, at least if you don't right jump into metatables. Python would be even better in my opinion, but it's a total matter of taste. At the other side, JavaScript requires you also to learn both HTML and CSS in most cases. It's a good idea to learn it, but I really wouldn't use it as a starting language. I'll let alone ActionScript. Really, Lua is fine since novaplex seems to want to mod TPT in the first place.
Second, C++ is actually a hard language but it totally isn't one of the hardest-to-learn ones. There are so many worse ones. For example, try J or APL... And I'm not saying a word about esoteric languages like Malbolge *shudder* -
Thanks dude il check out python and then il see where i want to go :D
