Powder Toy ver. 99.0You wake up in the morning, and rush downstairs to your tree. Instead of wrapped presents, you find GLAS containers. What is this? DUST? WATeR? PLUTonium? And a stocking full of COAL?
That's right, it's a new version of The Powder Toy, just in time for the holidays.
This version adds some new options to the save browser to improve searching, and puts rendering into a separate thread, which can really boost the framerate in certain scenarios with fancy effects on. There's also now in-game credits, a new tools api for creating Lua tools, and various simulation / crash fixes. Full changelog below:
- Add an option to render the simulation on a separate thread. This may increase framerate when fancy effects are in use
- Add day/week/month/year selector in the search
- Add documentation on new advanced search (press F1 in save browser)
- Add credits UI (accessible from options menu)
- RSST/RSSS now sets its .tmp from the .ctype of nearby BCLN/PBCN
