The Powder Toy

Feedback for Lua scripting

    While I do think Lua scripting can be useful, i do have one question- is it possible for someone to create a malicious script for powder toy and/or your computer? i like powder toy a lot, and i don't want something to happen to my account or my pc.

    At the moment, yes. https://powdertoy.co.uk/Discussions/Thread/View.html?Thread=7963

    But Lua scripts cannot be embedded in saves, so you're fine as long as you avoid running scripts that you're not completely sure are safe.

    ok, thanks. but someone could make a mod that allows you to embed scripts, so there needs to be someway to prevent that.
