Make Powder Toy larger
-
Powder toy's game resolution is 611 by 383. This allow's 234,013 particles on the screen at the same time.
Is there a way to increase the size of the screen to allow more particles?

You can make the window larger by clicking on the tick in the bottom right of the screen and enabling large screen, but you cannot increase the amount of pixels, I would be very supprised if you get a decent frame-rate when you fill the screen with an element.
Technically, you can increase the pixel count if you mod the game, but you will need to compile it yourself, this may break stuff and you won't be able to save to the server.

Yes. You can download the source code, create a mod, go to config.h, change the WINDOWX and WINDOWY (I think) and there you're done. Now just compile.
Or you can download the versionsomeone already made

612 x 384 - the 0 coordinates count too :D
But yes, as @Lord_Bowserinator (View Post) said, you can go change the XRES/YRES variables in the source code and make a mod. However, saves made with that can't really be saved on the save server, since most players will not be able to use saves that big. TPT will just display an error.Edited 2 times by boxmein.

Here's a god-awfully large version of TPT that I said I would make :D
(3672 x 2304)
git diff: http://static.boxmein.net/bin/tpt/various/powder-90.2-3672x2304.diff
Windows 32-bit (see note 2): http://static.boxmein.net/bin/tpt/various/powder-90.2-win32-3672x2304.exe
Linux 64-bit: http://static.boxmein.net/bin/tpt/various/powder-90.2-lin64-3072x2304
Linux 32-bit: coming maybe
lag farm version, windows 32-bit: http://static.boxmein.net/bin/tpt/various/powder-90.2-win32-lagfarm.exe
(This version also includes 1-pixel walls and air simulation :O)
Note: this will be very slow :O
Note 2 (Windows only): I didn't compile this statically. Stuff some of these DLLs next to the executable: Downloads

Static simulation size anyone can do with a simple setting.
But Algodoo/Phun-like dynamic expansion, that I would be very interested in. It would require a great overhaul (abstracting the simulation display), but I think it would be for a good cause.

@12Me21 (View Post) It's because of the borders.
