[Topic title was up, down, left, and right ASCII arrows but got destroyed upon posting]
Does anyone like the idea of having the arrow keys control the direction of gravity in TPT? It would allow more complicated devices, mazes, and just more plain fun options to the game in my opinion. It also (shouldn't, much better devs can comment on this) be to hard to code, a couple of key bindings, a ifdef turned into a variable, and a small section of logic to check if the keys have been pressed and therefore the direction particles are pulled.
Hey guys I made it, it's a bit awkward to use but the keys can be changed easily later
y off u up i down 8 left 9 right
Up down left and right are used by the stickman so better keys can be found later anyways.
Also included in the build below is my previous addition "d switches death on/off for stickman". If Simon wants these merged to the main build I'll upload my code then (don't feel like wasting time otherwise).

I usually don't waste my time until someone wants it (only happened 2 times including this lol)
Okay now that it's not midnight I can think clearly and mapped the numberpad to the directions Keypad 1 - downleft Keypad 2 -down Keypad 3 -downrgiht Keypad 4 - left Keypad 5 - no gravity Keypad 6 - right Keypad 7 - upleft Keypad 8 - up Keypad 9 - upright
You'll notice this makes much more sense as not only are the directions the direction they key is but it's much easier to switch, adds 4 modes, and has arrows on the key if your're still lost :p
As far as I can tell, there's no 9 spaces free that would be logical (other than the number pad), so I just think there could be four directions (G,V,B,N possibly). There still would be the number pad option, though
