Random is better than fixed

    The original creator was @ALark, he stopped developing the game like 7 years ago and handed it over to @Simon
    The inspiration was danball powder game, yes. Skylark didn't like that it required java, which made it more difficult for him to run on Linux. A lot of early elements and ideas were from powder game.

    powder game has a different engine than powder toy. Moving solids don't work in our engine.

    "Rapidly, but paced, tap the hell out of your arrow keys to get stickman to NOT go crazy". Or just fix it to move properly when you hold it normally ?


    I should repeat that I have no intention of changing this. I have a list of things I'd like to do, and this is very low on that list. But I am very open to the idea of changing STKM movement to be less random and easier to use, while hopefully maintaining the stuff that makes it powerful.

     How possible would it be to have your right-click on diamond before placing stickman, then having it so stickman takes the properties of diamond, plus one more? A legit indestructible stickman who can stan on the void edge and never fall out of the 'world'? Who won't ever fall out of the top, bottom, left, or right voids.

    I guess that's possible ... just have STKM(DMND) be invincible.

     Yup. Perhaps, in dmnd mode, it can follow your cursor? Have a toggle option you put in the command center? That might be a "bit" of a stretch, though.

    What if somebody just made a new type of stickman that's a different "element" from the original stickman we all know and/or love? Kinda like how there's FIRW and FRWK, two different versions of the same concept

    I'd rather not duplicate all the STKM movement code.

    Simon was not the one who created the original tpt.Stainislaw was the one who designed original tpt.

     Jacob already told me @ALark made it, then sent it off to @Simon
