    lol, haven't you gotten used to 2-3 months between releases by now? In one week it will have been 3 months. The release is ready right now, but Simon isn't releasing it ... Also if you want to make an element, I would look into Lua. See some scripts on the wiki for examples.

    TheKittyCat: those were the original console commands, they did a lot but were sort of limited. Now, an entire programming language called lua is embeded in the console. Unfortunately there is no simple tutorial for tpt lua, tpt.el (which DoritosTaco mentioned) is one of the most used but least documented things ... I did notice that FeynmanTechnologies made this: https://powdertoy.co.uk/Discussions/Thread/View.html?Thread=17801 , but this is a general lua tutorial, not tpt. Once you understand at least some of the things in there, maybe look at other scripts and see what they are doing, and also the wiki: https://powdertoy.co.uk/Wiki/W/Powder_Toy_Lua_API.html , which has lists of a lot of commands and how to use them.

    And what's the difference in name colors? blue is mod, but what are the other color ranks?

    Wow jacob1 you are good at moderating. I don't think I'd be able to do it like you do. Also, how exactly does the console work? I can do the basic commands, like !set type/ctype/temp/x/y/life, and !create, but I don't get the point of it. Are there any advanced commands that do really awesome effects?
