This is a 64-bit Windows build of PowderToy. Required DLLs are included in the zip file.

This version was build using optimizations during compilation which should make it run faster than the previous 64-bit versions. The code was not modified, it's fully compatible with the 32-bit version.

 The source code is the original game. Nothing was modified. I just used the flags "--win --64bit" as scons parameters. That's it.

 Yes, I used scons. The only problem with it is that some of the packages (pthread and zlib IIRC) have dead links in the cross-libs. Replacing them with working ones fixed the problem.

Here are some performance comparisons:

Blank sandbox (scale factor 1 and 'nothing display'):

  Paused:

    32-bit: 550 fps

    64-bit: 670 fps

  Unpaused:

    32-bit: 380 fps

    64-bit: 490 fps

Sandbox filled with BRCK (scale factor 1 and 'nothing display'):

  Paused:

    32-bit: 58 fps

    64-bit: 62 fps

  Unpaused:

    32-bit: 19 fps

    64-bit: 22 fps

Destroyable city 5 (scale factor 1 and 'nothing display'):

  Paused:

    32-bit: 165 fps

    64-bit: 160 fps

  Unpaused:

    32-bit: 37 fps

    64-bit: 49 fps

Same map with 'Fancy display':

  Paused:

    32-bit: 74 fps

    64-bit: 84 fps

  Unpaused:

    32-bit: 32 fps

    64-bit: 38 fps

These are some minor improvements, but I just made this build for people who really want that small bit of extra fps, and don't want to compile it themselves.
