photon spectrum

    hello powder toy,

    I just want to make a small sugestion about the spectrum range with the photons. The current range of the photons is "red,orange,yellow,green,light blue and blue". Now my suggestion is that we increase this range by a small margin.

    what if we could have a violet part of the spectrum which only makes sense because violet is the last colour, and tpt spectrum ends on blue. It would have the sharpest refraction gradiant and will be blocked by some transparent elements. I am not suggesting it as a seperate element, but as another part of the photon's refraction spectrum.

    please comment-

    Good idea, dunno why it doesn't already. The original author for Powder Toy coded in photon colors himself, so dunno.

    purple photons are possible to make, just not from glass/filter.
    i don't think it is quiet as simple as it sounds.

    Is there a problem with how the powder toy is curently coded? (doesn't support that colour)

    It supports the color just fine, but the code for colors is confusing @_@

    Ok, so its not too serious, just hard to make, It might be done, who knows.

    Here: Combine red and blue:

    That is how you make purple...

    red+green=yellow

    blue+green=turquoise

    red+yellow=orange

    ^we can do this, but we can also refract them^

    red+blue=purple (but no refraction from white photons)

    so whats wrong with having purple as a refracted colour?

    Actually, Try reflecting photons off of goo. You get brown and If you reflect photons off of Acid. Voila! Purple photons.
