Hey,

If you lookup 'Gravity point' you can see my creation. Basically, its a blackhole with a layer of DMND to stop them getting sucked in.

This is how i discovered what i believe to be a glitch.
If you have less than 3px of DMND and a blackhole on the otherside, it will go straight through the DMND. This works best with a similar style to that of my gravity point layout.

This is a problem with the physics of the game, nothing can be done about it. The entire game would have to be rewritten using different methods which would require a super computer to process.

Sorry.

actually everything that can move freely can pass through a wall of any element that is less than 2px thick, try for example, a 1px metal box, and put neutrons or photons inside and see what happens...

@vsams14: It seems that that only happens to me if the fps drops below 50 or so, so it may be the users computer not being fast enough.

recently, I made a save using white hole to accerate photons...it went through an indestructable wall and detroyed my logo :/ I think that if you get a particle moving fast enough, you could get it through anything

This happens because, say, if the velocity of a particle is over 3 pixels per frame, it can completely skip the layer of diamond. Really not much can be done about it.

Exactly. Try using a singularity bomb (about 25-30 pixels) surrounded by 3-6 layers of wall. This is another example of the same problem.

I thought I'd fixed fast particles... Can you link to the save please?

Oh i see it, is how the gasses its pass the 1 px walls
