    Isn't it interesting how pretty much all guns and XY-throwers in tPT shoot from left to right, while most pictures of guns (compare: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Machine_pistol) shoot from right to left?

    Must be influenced by left to right reading.
    Are there any native arabic or hebrew readers/writers here in the forum? Would you build the other way around?

    This is pointless. Maybe it's because in 2D games anything on the left tends to be a friendly thing and the right side tends to be enemies. This is off-topic from the game though so lets leave it at that.

    actually this is on topic, it concerns powder toy and creations, this is actually the right catagory to put it in too.

    It's not really on the game. Its on physcology or however you spell it but what ever

    psychology lol you were close. It is on the topic of "psychology and powder toy and how it affects creations" ergo a creations topic. but ironically our last 4 posts have been off topic.

    I have to agree with lolzy, you could label it as to do with powder toy creations if you wanted but it's not talk about creating things powder toy, it's talk about the directions guns face in wikipedia compared to other places.

    EDIT: Also past posts being off-topic are not a reason to have another post be off-topic

    eh, well I'll accept defeat on one last note then. If this is the case, 6 of the 7 posts have been off-topic while arguing if the first is off topic. (I'm laughing at myself also)

    Most of us are right handed, the mouse is therefore on the right side of the keyboard and monitor. Which makes it closer to the enemies.

    So no, I do not think Arabic users would do it the opposite way. If I am correct anyways.

    I have been aware of that since I found Powder Game. And, sure, it may be pysiocologoly, but this is a kind of consolidated insight into the entirety of Powder Toy weaponry. If that is not on-topic, I don't know.

    (btw, the fire view is made to satisfy you on a psychological level. Look how nice THAT burns...)

    To get back on topic:

    Are there any native arabian Powder Toyers around?
