    I will try to be quick here are some things that might be a nice idea to have in the powder toy in future versions.

    *A glue/bond element. This way powders such as sand, concrete ect can be hung from roofs.
    *Remember me feature in the login section.
    *A browsing sections for “toys” designs that have action or can be manipulated. For example:
    -Houses that can be burnt, bunkers that can be blown up, bridges that can be destroyed.
    -Bunker busters, lasers, flamers, bombs....
    *A browsing section for “designs e.g. cannot be blown up art from screwing up the design basically all the pretty pictures/art that people make.
    -Spaceship, Mario...
    * Moderation of designs and a policy like “any member who post inappropriate designs with a sexual orientation, advertising, contains racist comments or links to material of this nature will incur a blah, blah, blah.
    *When coding a feature that allows admins to send messages to users in program may be good for you to use.
    *A friends/contacts feature. Maybe along with the “my own” could have “my friends” allowing you to view their recently published work.
    *Resize window full

    No, too much physics calculations to add to the game for that, maybe later.
    It should already keep you logged in
    umm, we don't need that, we can already see what to do with saves and modify our actions to that situation

    We already have one. click announcements it is at the top of the list as forum rules.
    what do you mean?
    That could be interesting
    No, too much lag or too big pixel size.

    No what i mean is in game announcements system.
    Resize window optional, people make it work that way anyway.

    A glue like element would be useful for construction sims. Would be awesome if you could apply it to a solid, over it the powder and the powder to replace the glue and become glued to the solid.

    I don't see prefabricated stuff being in the game. They wouldn't really work , you would start building sims around them instead of using your imagination.

    Also a friends list of some sort would be nice. And be updated automatically when they upload something.

    "I don't see prefabricated stuff being in the game. They wouldn't really work, you would start building sims around them instead of using your imagination."

    Sorry, Snitzi I think I didn’t make myself clear. I was talking about 2 categories ART and INVENTIONS. Oh and if you want if full screen without the lag. Change the exe properties in compatibility to "run in 640 x 480 screen resolution". I understand what triclops200 is saying about lag but maybe a downsizeable screen so that you can have middle ground from small and full screen as stated above. I have to disagree about the physics calculations but.

    Another idea is a "report" button along with the votes. Happy to be a mod on this. Cause I am really getting sick of "the powder toys new menu" voting scams. Maybe an ip monitoring thing and only one person can vote to be reported. Maybe an in-game form to slow mass reporting significantly. If someone replies to my thread about the source I may be able to implment it

    Just vote the creation down.
    As for "ART" and "INVENTIONS" No, That's what tags are for.

    1) Goo that destroys on user specified pressure e.g. -1 or +2
    2) E-Wall reverse becomes transparent when not charged.
    3) An element that blocks all electrical bridging

    Still think the glue is a good idea....

    my friends and i were thinking: what if there was a 3 dimensional powder toy? and i reckon that GLUE would be cool too
