Assuming that pressure pulses in TPT can be considered "sound", the speed of TPT sound is about 3.2 pixels per frame. I made some pistons going at this speed and then some slower ones to illustrate the difference, at 2 and 1 p/f. Use pressure display!

Putting a cloud of wtrv around it lets you see the vapor cone that form around real life fighters,since pressure in tpt raises the boiling point of water

it is going 7 pixel per frames

id:2446918 its kinda breaking the sound barrier

the first one moves 6 pixels every 2 frames so the speed of sound would be 3 pixels per frame

Wait, the speed of sound in TPT is also c? That's... odd. Most likely numbers were reused in the coding.

I made an experiment where I found the speed of light (in TPT). The result was a speed of 180px/s.

Oh wow, it is the same speed. That is weird.

Oh wait, did you mean TPT light? In that case I have no idea. :P

jojofishfishing: No. 3.2 ppf at 60 fps is 192 pps. At about 2 meters per pixel, this comes out to 384 meters per second (the actual speed of sound is 343 m/s, i'm doing some rounding here), and the speed of light is 300000000 m/s. Nowhere close.

So the speed of sound in TPT is equal to the speed of light?
