Particle movement Classifaction "new som"

[I wuv M4( Satar Jaèoèdoæ)]

I noticed the old states of matter is inaccurate. Here are the new states of matter.This applies only an elements normal behavior. (I'm not going to go over charged ant and growing seed and polarized virus and such. If an elemment can change back from it changed state to its original state, Then I count the element as a different state from the other elements.) It does not include reactions or wind production. It is all about how stuff move and if players can use them or not. Some states are sub states of others.

Powders: are effected by gravity, without wind and other external they can't move anywhere but down, are effected lightly by wind.Players can use it's ability. (powder, stone)

Ball: Powders that bounce. (superball)

Liquids: are affected by gravity, move left an right, allow powders and denser powders to sink beneath them. Wind affects them moderately.Players can use their ability. (water, acid)

Semi-liquid: A powder that moves like a liquid on the "ground". (ant)

Solid: is unaffected by gravity, can only be moved by wheels, can not have their player ability absorbed. (c4, metal)

Earth solids: solids that can be moved by thunder or explosions. (wood, vine)

Semi-solids: Powders that are unaffected by gravity but are highly effected by wind. They disappear after a few frames. (fire, steam)

Lightning: Moves in a pattern determined by spawn location. Not player usable. (thunder)

Light: This is very complicated. A light particle can face one of 9 directions (x). A light particle creates another light particle that also faces x, in direction x. A laser particle facing up right will create laser up right of it. That laser particle will also face up right. A light particle can only be generated on an empty dot, except in certain situations (glass, liquids). After a certain number of frames. Player usable. (laser)

Gas: Gas moves upward ,but also moves in other directions to avoid other gas. Is moved by wind and player usable. (gas)

Flyer: I have no idea how bird works, but it has an AI. After looking at it in track, it seems to bear some similarities to my gravitum idea( a liquid that moves in a random direction that can have its gravity changed by other elements). Also appears to turn randomly.Player use able. (Bird)

Fan: No behavior what so ever. It isn't even physical, and is the only SoM not moved by wheel. Player usable. (Fan)

[aWeSum]

you can absorb graphite (it's a solid).

[Paradox]

Actually, you can only get the ability from the Powder state.

[darkchaos10]

Where do bird fit in those?
And non-reactive powders(powder,seed,etc) move around in non-reactive liquid(water/nitro/oil/saltwater/soapy).

[darkraine]

.-. wut about organic powders? like ant and bird . . . cuz they're technically powders, they just moved because they're meant to simulate simple life forms . . .

Read the wiki.

By Satar Gaèoèdoæ's definition, powders can't move anywhere but down, and are affected by gravity. Bird moves randomly, and is not affected by gravity.

Where does thunder go? Where does laser go? Where does ant and bird go?

[Paradox]

Powders (Living/ Organic): These elements simulate organic creatures. They are named after animals, as they act on their own.

Powders: These elements fall and (usually) stay in one place.

Liquids: These move about on their own. They flow when allowed, too.

Solids: This state of matter stays in one place. It is suspended in mid-air.

Plasma (Beam): These continue and multiply as they move forward. Does not work once 999 Dot-limit has been reached.

Plasma: This falls in a preset pattern. Conducts in metals.

[darkchaos10]

and one more:

Gasses: Float as individual particles, tend to stay apart, move upward and sideways, and in high density, also downward.

Although we only have one gas XD

[-M4-]

Immobile Solids - Powders that don't move.(Unless certain forces are applied to them(like explosions from bombs))

Mobile Solids - Like a powder that moves as one body.

Powder - Mobile particles that are not held together.

Plasma - Basically thunder and laser.

Gas - Mobile particles that are not held together and can travel through powders.

Those were the old ones right? How are they inaccurate?

[darkchaos10]

What mobile solids do we have?

[aWeSum]

styrofoam

[Paradox]

...That currently exist in-game, aWeSum.

[aWeSum]

none(yet)

STOP POSTING UNTIL I AM DONE WRITING! Tbc means I had to get off while I was writing something.

You may now continue posting.

[darkchaos10]

As I said, gasses move apart, if the are connected, they will separate unless something restricts them(Block, solid element...). their general direction is up, although they move left, right, and in certain situations, down(when affected by wind, or by high amount of gas around in small space)

I added a shorter version of what I think you meant. I might have got some of it left right movement wrong.

[darkraine]

personally, I find the old set of powder, organic powder, liquid, solid, gas, plasma as more accurate . . .

[ShiningSilver]

Powder: Falls down with gravity and does not disperse in the air.

Solids: Does not fall down with gravity.

Liquid: Falls down with gravity and moves side to side, if left alone for some time, the liquid will try to become level with itself.

Gas: Tries to fill up as much space as possible. Will spread out in the air.

Energy: Focused energy that moves in a predictable manner.

Organic Matter: Matter that moves on its own and is living. (Ant/Bird)

Objects: Players, Boxes, Fighters, Balls, and Bubbles. Things that are not made of dots.


Okay, how about that? And if that doesn't do well then I agree with ~Chronologik~, I think that the previous states of matter were more accurate.
