The Powder Toy

BLISax

I am aware of the problems with the source code. the problem is that the creaters don't give a full tutorial on how to compile the powder toy. and lack some information about header files. Like the fact that you need "regex.h", "cdefs.h" and other system .h files for complation on windows. Now im not trying to put down their work am aware that they are very busy, but it would be helpfull to know these things. I am making a sugestion to have an updated wiki page with more information about how to compile in diferent operating systems.

how about when you learn how to compile you update the wiki

They seemed to give perfectly good information on how to compile for me.

The one thing I think could be fixed though, is putting some more comments in the code to make it a bit easier to understand.

Compiling is EASY, you press the Build Button
Setting up the project isn't really easy, I tried twice and failed both times >.<
