    THE POWDER TOY HELPER
    Im programming a little java programm where you can look up information about stuff(TPT stuff of course!).
    But I wanted to here what you think about this and if somebody wants to help, then please post some information about:
    -the console
    -uses of life
    -secrets(like glowing DUST or exploding SING)
    -how to build basic electronic gates
    I´ll give credit to the helpers. So please tell me what you think of this!
    When finished it will be released in the Helpforum.

    PROTOTYPE IS READY! Tell me if you want to see it!

    Thanks, NeBuR!

    PS: It´s not Lua! I wont do anything with Lua! This is supposed to be a stand-alone Java programm.

    NeBuR:

    java program


    Why not use Lua? With Lua, it can print information on the screen, through TPT.

    Its not supposed to be in Powder Toy! And yes I can´t do Lua :D. It´s a stand-alone Java programm that can be run without TPT and works on every OS (that´s why I chose Java).

    So this is sort of like a help program for TPT? Sounds interesting....

    Most (if not all) of what you would want to put in such a program can be found in the wiki.

    e.g. :
    Console
    Lua functions (for the console)
    All of the element categories
    "Secrets"
    etc.

    So yeah, just look through the wiki; everything you could ever think of putting in a TPT help program is in there.
    Which sorta defeats the purpose of making such a program in the first place, but I'll agree that it's still a nice programming exercise!

    If you can do Java, you can do Lua. Only alot of syntax changes.

    Yeah maybe, but I don´t want this to display inside of TPT, it´s supposed to be an extra thing. And Java has awesome GUIs :P .

    And all links posted by abczyx123987 dont work :D. But I can search something on my own.
    But does no one realy wants to have his/her name in a programm?

    I´ve got the basic GUI going now! If someone wants to see it, I could upload it somewhere or make some pics.
    Just tell me!
