Crystal simulator v1.2

[miczu]

Gaèoèdoæ if you mean that it doesn't work in video, this isn't finished yet. And more important, you didn't answer my PM that I send you. You need to do 1 thing with my help before it start to work.

[I wuv M4( Satar Jaèoèdoæ)]

I haven't had a chance to download the thingy with the text thingy yet. I will once I have a chance and remember.

[miczu]

Hopefully i removed all bugs (beta testers work plz xd) from inner crystal behavior and it behave little more logical and in more advanced way (no movie only pic):



On top, the thunder holding crystal is activated faster (it in straight line) so energy from it is spreading in more places.
On the second one, crystal holding laser is activated faster then the one holding thunder, and then thunder one activates - turning only 1 crystal to thunder.

Maybe it could be used to control to with metal wire will thunder go, depending where laser hit...

[miczu]

Finally something really interesting is done. Without help my you see a nice loop and with perfect spaces between thunders and lasers.

My beta testers PM me...

[miczu]

Torch interaction with crystal - as you see, a electronic switch

[killered]

This might be a stupid question, but what programming language did you make this in?

[~Memzak~]

YAYAYAYAYA I can't wait for later versions!

[miczu]

killered it's made in Java

CyborgMemzak what do you want to see next in it? I make easy way to change size of board and size of elements - possible zoom.

[miczu]

Ok...

Depending on the number of people interested in it, I'm considering making Crystal simulator v0.8 an Open Beta for the purpose of developing crystal logic (for example logic gates).

I come to conclusion, that even without perfect laser (normal has random length and speed) we can make perfect laser based crystal logic, thanks to constant emission speed of laser (it has same speed for some time before it will be fully emissed) and constant bounce speed in tubes.

Putting it simple, we need only crystal in PG to start serious electronic.

Please post here if you like to take part in it.

id love to test it out

[ROBiT]

Add a way to run it without having to click for each frame, like PG where you can run it normally or frame-by-frame mode.

[miczu]

Finished 4 speed modes + 1 frame by frame mode.

[~Memzak~]

so when will this so called beta be realised, if ever... because I'd love to test it...

oh, and can you list what we have so far...

then I can suggest what for you to make next...

[miczu]

List? Hmm:
- metal (completed)
- thunder (completed)
- laser (completed*)
- crystal (completed)
- torch (completed)
- easy way to change size of game board (2 variables in code)
- different speeds (pretty much like PG)
- left/right mouse button to put element (in future more like PG)
- hold shift+mouse button to remove element (could make clear option though)
- reset button
- x y (position) information
- game protection/activation - need extra file (.txt) to work, different for every user

TO DO:
- choosing with way laser will move

Something like that

Ps. are there still Dan ball shops? If not, there is no point for making it so hard to get :F

[~Memzak~]

oh, ok...

then I think one element might come in handy on the electronic side... (and would be very interesting) pretty soon we'll have the whole of PG and more in a little game you made...

anyways, here is the new element idea:
(from the powder encyclopedia)

Epsilon

Basic information:
State of matter: Stationary non-dragable solids
Category: Stationary solids, Dan ball user element, Technology element, Metals
Element type: Secondary
Notable reaction: Gravity reverse, resistance change and line construction.

Physical information:
Density (in mobilized state):
Flammability: /
Direction of gravity(in mobilized state): Attractive (+)

Additional information:
Field: Gravity reverse fields
Field radius per pixel: 5 pixels

Reactions:
a. Line construction mechanism:
*Epsilon will extend when a pixel of Metal(Iron) contact with it.

*The line will extend to the direction where the contacted Metal is, turning any Metal in it's way into Epsilon. It stops when it hits other non metal solids, other Epsilon or when the dot limit is reached.

*If there are 2 dots of metal next to each other, then epsilon will turn into direction: from 1. dot metal -> to 2. dot metal.

*If there are 3 dots in line,and the middle will be hitted by epsilon line, it will transform the middle dot, then extend in two directions.

Note: The line can only travel up, down, left or right



b. Other reactions:
1. Conducts electricity

2. Can only be made by this reaction
1 mole of Listo + 1 mole of AgCNO ---------> 1 mole of Epsilon

3. Cannot be copied/multiplied in other means except by Copy (Thus cannot be virused)

4. Things fall upside down when it is within the Epsilon field

5. Temperature changes the resistance of Epsilon, allowing the speed of electric current to be controlled (Higher temp = higher resistance)

6. Inert to the standard elements except Antimatter
and Magma.

Ignore everything about fields and stuff like that, just focus on the spreading and electrical conductivity...

[miczu]

Well I made those 2 gifs (and spreading mechanism) so i should menage to do it, but by electrical conductivity you mean the "Temperature changes the resistance of Epsilon, allowing the speed of electric current to be controlled (Higher temp = higher resistance)" or only normal "metal" behavior?

Need activation, so the string of numbers from it, send to me by PM.

Can you upload it as a .ZIP?

RAR files don't work on my computer.

[miczu]

They post only to get a free copy, how sad, how sad...

[Saza]

Ah, no. I'm more interested in the programming.
Also, I find it amazing that a member of the Dan-Ball Community (Not that community....)
has created something BASED upon Powder Game.

[miczu]

Well probably I will need basic knowledge about java in future and thats pretty fun way to learn about it. For my first steps in this language it isn't perfect, but more then enough for this purpose.
