The Powder Toy

Browsing creations ingame

    Hey people, I'm kinda new to powder toy so I hope you'll be able to help me by answering this noobish question. I heard that it is possible to save, upload and browse other players' creations ingame, but I have no idea how to. I've googled many times but got no results :(. Many people say you have to click a "open" or "save" button but i really have no idea where exactly it is. Can anyone please tell me how to do this and maybe provide screenshots? Thank you.

     

    I'm using Mac OSX, just to let you guys know :)

    There are tooltips on all the buttons in the bottom row. Those are the buttons you use to do stuff.

    The very bottom left button is for going to the save browser. Next to that is reload, and next to that is for uploading saves.

    Note that, if you aren't logged in, the save button turns into a "save offline" button. Once you're logged in, you can hold ctrl to continue doing offline saves.

    Ohhhhh I kind of get it now. The issue was caused by the double screen option @ https://pasteboard.co/GHh9ace.jpg

     

    Apparently my dock was blocking the options :3

     

    I tried to change it back to the default option by deleting the powder.pref file and clicked cancel and was able to see the options. The window was kinda too small though. @ https://pasteboard.co/GHh9EnE.jpg

     

    So the final option for me was to hide my dock @ https://pasteboard.co/GHha8QyQ.jpg

     

    Annnnd I found the "hidden" options :D

     

    Thanks a lot for your help, but I would like to make a suggestion. Can the devs make it possible to resize the window of The Powder Toy so we can resize it to our liking? I really like having my dock shown all the time so this is kind of an issue to me. Or maybe make it such that the dock gets hidden when the app opens? I've tried fullscreen mode but it doesnt work cause the option is greyed out for me (tpt.setwindowsize(1,1) is kinda troublesome cause it blocks out the other interfaces for my mac and I have to quit the app to do other things on my computer). Thank you very much for all your help & advice :D

    It would be a bit difficult to allow resizing the window. I think it's possible, but I haven't looked into it. The simulation area can't ever change size, so you'd need to do some scaling of the window and the interface on the edges.
