Powder Game 2 Comments

Fun fact: It is possible to make a 64 bit computer on PG2 (capable of partially running Windows 10) if there weren't any dot or size limits. It'll just take up a lot of space (and will lag) since even a single byte of storage takes up considerable space on PG2.

Wow.... you weren't kidding

Okay quick question, why is the PG2 comments so much more productive and full of ideas, complements, constructive criticism, and etc. And then the PG1 comments consist of random letters, words, numbers and symbols. It’s so easy to have conversations here and get help with projects, but on the PG1 comments it’s actually impossible to have any real discussion there.

Given the following parameters: https://pastebin.com/paFVA15p Is it possible to calculate the total number of possible unique uploads (that don't involve any readvar-adjacent stuff)?

Yes we can improvise, but there's just so many combinations that we can use. Also remember, the physics of the game IS math, since you can't just type "fall" and expect something to fall. For the s-ball element, or any other element that changes speed midair, a formula for acceleration is needed. The math that the developers used are the physics. Any math they did not use are physics unaccounted for. The 40000 dot and size limit are also contributing factors, however if there were no limit to size/particle count, there would still be a cap due to math. Space could be less of an issue if say, there were more equations for how electricity behaves when conducted.

I agree, though I don't think math is the limit. There's space to make nearly every conceivable boolean expression, and the game has properties that make many aspects of real life electronics unnecessary. In general, the problem is the physical limits of the game itself. I'm very close to that limit right now because my current project is taking up every bit of space the game has. After I finish it I'm not sure what I'm going to do.

It's amazing to see that we can manipulate a once simple falling sand type game to create complex electrical creations. However, we do know that not every mathematical equation is used here, therefore I fear we are reaching the true limit of PG2, due to lack of math. Though, I may be wrong.

Someone make mazes please

what is "the glitch" supposed to be

It seems we’ve entered the industrial revolution of powder game ;)

the level of sudden technological advancement on here is amazing

Last year i only heard people complaining about 5 minute uploads here

The Internet is a series of tubes

(or anyone, i dont mind :D)

hey bob if youre seeing this, it would be cool if you could maybe make a new version of the internet with the improved wires i just uploaded. it would probably make it way faster if you could find a way to implement it.

the internet system is good but, if you guys look at all of bob's stuff you'll see that he's made cool games like this before. Like the google dino game

damn

@bob4koolest I just tried it. That's epic. The internet feature itself is made by simply kinda doubling things and doing it to both sides, right? I'm actually more into the movement effect you created lol. That can be used to make simple shooter-type games, or maybe even bootleg chess xD

Hello friend, I'm jhon master, I want to inform you that I'm up, kill the fighter to win, they are very good, play them

hi

how do you get a pump to dispense fluid properly

Aight, when’s google coming to powder game?

@everyone Thanks :D It actually wasn't too hard, I copied and pasted two identical systems together then jointed them so the movement on one affects the other. There's a little bit more too it, but that's the basic concept.

BOB HOW

@bob4koolest Wow... you really are the coolest

@bob4koolest Oh, wow I just tried out your internet system and all I gotta say is my god how do you make stuff that good. Like I got happy when I made an electric Tic-Tac-Toe board game and then you make stuff like that. GG you have PG2 electricity flexing rights.

@emankciNNickname @Randomguypi http://dan-ball.jp/en/javagame/dust2/72508.html Working internet system in PG2

I'm gonna start uploading more projects now. I've been playing a lot of Stick Ranger trying to get all the crowns.

THANK YOU emankciNNickname

Yes?

Bob, that sounds really cool. do it

And bob, if you want, go for it

Being a former ipad user, I can confirm what you can/can't do CAN: Right select by repeatedly tapping the element you want WITH TWO FINGERS AT ONCE CAN: Navigate, build, scale, etc, etc. CAN'T: Use right selected elements for normal building (example: my right selected item is Nitro and my left is oil, I can only use the oil normally but can use nitro text or balls) CAN'T: Change joint mode (hitting j) CAN'T: Control players On the plus side, creating stuff on ipad is hundreds of times quicker, but it's harder to do precision work until you train yourself to work with it easier. Everything I just said applies to all tablets and maybe phones.

I just came up with a concept for a working Ethernet system for PG2. Should I make it?

Jello at

hi me

no, I AM

ouec ji

set

You accidentally did something cool and know you think you're a genius? hehehe :)

BOO YAH!!!

I AM A LITTLE TINY 14 YEAR OLD GENIUS!!!

you copied the mad scientist

You're actually on the Internet and not on an app? How are you able to play the game then? In my experience, it's almost impossible to do anything you want without ruining what's already on the screen. But in any case, I don't think it's possible to do any right-click stuff, so you can't have element balls or reverse conveyer as far as I know.

Not a computer

I do this on an iPad

If you know anything about real science, you'd know PG2 isn't accurate but I like what you are getting at because I don't care about that. I like to think of PG2 as its own "universe" that has its own laws of matter and physics. btw I like your boat did you see my joint boat? it has actions... I'd give you the link but, well you know :l, its called "Sailing Ship" also well this is dumb comment but my top 3 uploads this month each has 44 votes is it the same 44 people seeing them? Can I get a request for my next upload here are some things I've been working with... - Joint Vehicles (fairly complex ones) - A really well planned and detailed level of some kind (by level I mean like players and stuff) - A hard puzzle box >Like E-lock picking but more difficult - A sea monster -or an idea of your own for me to tackle (long message my bad, had a lot to say I guess :/)

@bob4koolest Thank you for bringing to life the main idea of my nuclear power plant that I published in early December. The idea that if we apply little labels to an ordinary group of interactions between elements, we can show people the complicated modern processes seen in real-life industrial buildings. There is now an emergence of industrial uploads from the PG2 community and each one is really smart and educational and more than the sum of its parts.

I know, I'm just thinking of the two differences between your own upload page and someone else's. As far as I know, the only two differences are that it shows the code, and instead of a vote button it shows the message about not voting on your own work.

Oh, I'm not logged in, lol I'm stupid. As far as I know, there was no way/workaround to give yourself votes.

I have no trouble opening my own uploads when not logged in, so I'm guessing it's a new issue related to the get/set codes? Either that, or the function preventing one for voting for oneself.

Both by right-clicking. Left-click the BALL button on the menu, right-click the element you want the ball to be, then left-click the game screen. Right-click the CONVEYER button on the menu and draw on the game screen using the right mouse button rather than the left.

And make conveyor belts go the other way

How do u make element balls

Huh, I can access my own uploads. @everyone Just so everyone knows, ha55ii always skips the first update of the year. Technically we don't know why, but it's probably because the poor man needs a break every now and then. Every year he has done this, and you should expect him to every year in the future.

It's good bob... +1 vote

http://dan-ball.jp/en/javagame/dust2/72394.html How's this?

The only thing I can think of is a pg2 optimization gone awry. A while back stick ranger 2 skipped a week for an update, so that's fine.

dude, I finally tried playing stick ranger 1 and I'm now addicted

@bob same, cant access my uploads :(

Oh boy... The end of the dan-ball!!!!!!!!! is 2020 the end?

I'm having the same issue, actually. I can't get the main 'save data' page to load either.

@HydroMan The developer blogs don't work anymore, there isn't a Stick Ranger update this week, and we can't access our own uploads :( What's happening?

Just did and they don't work anymore :((

@HydroMan have you tried checking on your own uploads though?

@bob4koolest same here

Good work Someone, The acid was supposed to be a trap but I guess it was no match for you :)

HydroMan, I killed the fighter with acid, not fire lol

@bob I just checked again everything works like normal for me, I'm sorry for your loss ):

@Hydro The pages with my uploads won't load and the page just says "HTTP error 500"

hmm ok...

For Electric lock picking, you need to put thunder in the boxes (this is the main part) but I think the instructions are straight forward it doesn't "do" anything unless you do something with it... bob I can access your uploads, weird that you can't :/

Is it just me who can't access my own uploads or is it everyone?

soy el mismo the game very good

yo hablo español el juego es muy bueno

No idea how the electric lock-picking works and does anything...

R101: No, it's fine. Everybody: Happy New Year's! *Kazooooooooooo solo*

well, that's good to know thanks Sigma :) I'm glad I made something original

I don't think I've seen anything like that before, either. And I've seen just about EVERY upload.

Thanks! I thought it was pretty original too but, I mean this game is like 8+years old so I haven't seen EVERY upload but thanks again. Does anyone want a level 2? I might hide some of the joints to make it harder and more like a lock :)

@HydroMan Cool lock! Never seen that design on PG2 before :)

I’ve been playing Terraria for two years now, and my first Moon Lord fight is tomorrow. Is it bad that I’m getting a bit emotional?

Man I've been quite inactive, sorry guys.

Check out Electric lockpicking -> https://dan-ball.jp/en/javagame/dust2/72307.html

Congrats on top 30 @TeamDoodleBlocks!

@bob4koolest Your works are looking more and more StarTrekSpock-esque.

@skyk Wow! That's pretty cool! Thanks for telling me this!

Happy Holidays, everyone.

Merry Christmas!

Phresh: That's because laser is self-replacing as long as there's room in the particle's defined direction, and at speed 8 it can replace itself faster than you can clear it.

Correction: I mean 1,000.

Guys put a size nine clone in the center of this while it's in stop and wait until the dot reaches close to 10,000. Then, remove the clone and see what happens. Then try to erase it. Depending on how you do it, it will either be impossible to erase the laser or take a long time to do so. https://dan-ball.jp/en/javagame/dust2/72275.html

Hehehehe Danstroyer, I'm a little sick as well but not so much it's ruining Christmas for me. O and by the way, this is my upload from yesterday what do you guys think? https://dan-ball.jp/en/javagame/dust2/72260.html

I can't wait, Christmas eve and I'm sooooo. . . . SICK! Something about having a cold makes it feel like it's still November and it's "I can't wait to not be sick :D" instead of opening presents tomorrow

Most places they'd just spit in your coffee for that... @bob4koolest its good stuff. Did you get the cloud to thunder thing from me? It was was a really good application of that mechanic, it was the most realistic nuclear power plant I've ever seen on this game and even better than the ones in real life!!!

There's a Coffee Shop in France where not saying "hello" and "please" makes your coffee more expensive.

How's this? http://dan-ball.jp/en/javagame/dust2/72233.html

Got a new monitor for my computer :D here's my latest work https://dan-ball.jp/en/javagame/dust2/72232.html

Aw, they know how I did the one-ended joint now (honestly not much of a secret). @Randomguypi https://danball.fandom.com/wiki/Readvar

Me 2 days ago: *normal life* 1 day ago: What's epithet erased? Watching the trailer now lol Today: SyLvIe ThE sLeEp ShEeP sUmMoNiN 15 yEaR oLd PsYcHoLoGiSt KiD I've learned about epithet erased and it's stupid and funny and the villain has a decent backstory
