    Ideas that could be added:

    BEE = bees.Single pixel that moves around like a Anti-matter,builds nests of wax and makes honey from POLN.(pollen)

    ANT = ants. Single pixel that build nests in SOIL and hunt WORM.(worms, 2 pixles)

    CSTK= computer-controlled stick-man. Build huts out of wood and hunt FISH or BIRD.

    WORM= worm. Food for BIRD and ANT.

    POLN = Pollen. Grows on top of flowers(grow from FSED).

    BIRD = bird.3 pixels. Build nests in trees and eat WORM.

    FISH = single pixel. moves around in any kind of water.

    FSED = flower seed. Combine with soil to grow into flower. Contains pollen which bees use to make honey.

    RPSD = Random plant seed. Random plants eg. Grass, Berries.

    TSED = Tree seed. Grows trees with wooden stem. Provides nesting place for BIRD.

    GRAP = Grape. Grows on vine.(turns to wine under pressure.)

    FRUT = Fruit. Grows on trees.

    SUGR = Suger. Mix with FLUR to make CAKE.

    FLUR = Flour. Flammable. Worms eat this.

    CAKE = Cake. Eaten by STKM,STK2 and CSTK.

    GSED = Grain seed. Turns to FLUR under pressure. Grows into tall Plant with GSED on top. Increases STKM or CSTK's Health by 10.

    If this is a troll thread, please just leave.

     

    If not, most if not all of this would be hard to do, or just not fit in with tpt. I mean, its all up to the mods, but stuff like this never makes it in.

    exactly. Most of these seem like something you would suggest because you saw a mobile game called The Sandbox. Most of these are one pixel, but they involve some process that isn't normal for tpt particles, like hunting other particles.

     

    I had meant animal suggestions. Not FIGH or STKM.

     

    I already know what your response is now. 'But what about FIGH?' Well, that hunts an 'entity' contolled by you. Not another smart particle. The 'smartest' particle in tpt is TRON, and thats only because it turns in a different direction when confronted with an obstacle.

    FIGH is more like a seeking missile than a smart entity. What your asking for is a smart particle that changes its direction directly based on the location of another particle, another smart particle I may add. Its like a TRON hunting a TRON.

     

    Then, you have the fact that most of these will be on the ground. This requires that these animalistic smart particles be able to navigate around an obstacle to reach the other animalistic smart particle it is hunting.

    FIGH wasn't impossible because it tracks STKM, an entity controlled by you. Also they cant navigate around objects. This then also presents another problem. TPT is 2-D.

     

    Final arguement: your rebuke of STK2 being begged for and implemented thereafter wasnt a hard thing, I believe. All it was was a matter of creating another selection for it, changing the natural color of STKM from beige to blue, then adding wasd keys instead of arrow keys. Therefore, at least that much is invalid.

    i dint get the idea from sandbox, even though i know what it is.....i got it from mods...........that my friend found.......... what would be good is a genius partical like you said. and if you look from your side, your right. but It couldent be that hard to add a single partical thats smart.you could put a limit to the amount of particles like say 100 BEE. What do think about computer-controlled stickman?

    That is true, but you are proposing multiple smart particles being added to the game, some of them actively seeking eachother. One particle? It could be done, along with most of your other dumb-particles (no offense, I am merely refferring to your non sentient ideas).

     

    I will leave it to the mods/devs though. It is not really my place to tell you if a suggestion will not make it into TPT.

    I'm going to have to agree with KydonShadow, most of these either aren't possible or just aren't things we want to add. The only reason FIGH looks like it's an AI is because it's coded to go left/right/jump/shoot when it's near stickman. It wouldn't work if you were able to have many STKM on screen at the same time. In general, TPT has no code that allows it to search in a large area around it and think "the WORM is this way". At most particles look 4 pixels away (besides TRON). If they did look any farther it would get really laggy.

    As for all the other random elements, I don't see enough uses in them for them to deserve to get in the game. They all rely on each other too much and seem sort of random. Also, the stickied threads don't say this well, but you aren't supposed to just go and make a massive list of elements you want in game. Suggestions should be individual and well thought out.

    Cake? Bees? Farmer stickman?

    Then why not Godzilla, Thor, Iron Man, Justin Bieber?
