Old vs New API, and Update/Graphics func
-
https://powdertoy.co.uk/Wiki/W/Talk:Lua_API:Elements.html
Why is there two methods of adding the functions to an element? The wiki seems to imply that you have to use the old API to do so, but that is not true because Graphics and Update properties can be used to define those.

I guess the wiki was wrong. It does later in the page say that "Update" and "Graphics" work, maybe those are newer properties, or just whoever wrote the page didn't know about it. You are free to fix it :P, and I recommend fixing it because the new functions are better (well except for that one glitch that I fixed ...)

I'm assuming by better, you mean less lag and glitches?

They're more unified with the other properties, since the update and graphics functions are just properties you can set on elements! :D -

Same amount of lag (which is none), and more glitches (just see this post where I completely abuse a glitch ...)
But it just looks nicer when compared to the legacy api. It literally does the exact same thing internally.Edited 2 times by jacob1. Last: 5th May 2015
