The Powder Toy

Original TPT code

    I was just wondering what the original code of the very first powder toy looked like so I can make my own physics/chemistry simulator.  So I just wanted a file of the original game/code.  Thx.  :)

    You can find some old source zip files here: https://powdertoy.co.uk/Download/Older.html OR on github here: https://github.com/simtr/The-Powder-Toy/tree/legacy

    I would recommend looking the old c source from version 83 (second link) though, has all the improvements we made over the years (things like update functions, can_move, not having everything in powder.c). The original source from Skylark does have a lot of good ideas but might be hard to read and also is just bad in some places (could be more efficient)

     So I got the earliest verson of TPT but there is no code!  Just a TPT.exe.

    Ah, okay.  Exactly, what is this md5 file?  What's it used for?  @jacob1 (View Post)

    It can be used to make sure you downloaded the file correctly, but you can just ignore it.

     Ah, okay, and the fbi and font files are for what?  Lots and lots of hex apperently.

    Oh, you are talking about the source. md5.c is used when sending your password to the server so it's not just plaintext. fbi.h is a useless fbi logo that used to be displayed when you started TPT that says something about "don't do drugs". font.h contains the font of course :P, it's all in hex so not readable.
