• Can I use the Powder Toy behind a passworded/authenticated proxy?

Sorry, but the Powder Toy does not support authenticated proxies.

• What is the Line Tool, and how do I use it?

The line tool can be used to draw Lines of particles and is also used for adjusting fan speed and direction. To use it, one simply needs to use the draw tool while holding either shift key. When using with the fan tool, have the fan selected, and draw outward from the fan you wish to adjust.

• How do I use floodfill/prop/another tool?

Check the wiki or README — they have good descriptions.

• Can I use the sample tool without a middle mouse button?

Yes, there is an alternate to the middle click sample tool, you may use the ‘Alt’ key (or ‘Option’ key on a Mac) in junction with the left click.

• How can I add an avatar to site?

You should register on gravatar.com with the email you used to register on the game. Then you can add an avatar which will be automatically used on forums (and many other sites as well).

• How can I upload something to TPT?

First you have to register, then make your save, and then click [untitled simulation] button in the bottom of TPT.

• When I try to login, I get a ‘605 — Timeout’ error. How do I fix this?

This error is very general. It means that the Powder Toy cannot communicate with the server, usually because there is no internet connection, or the port used (port 80) has been intentionally blocked by an administrator. If you’re trying to use the Powder Toy from within a corporate or school network, it is likely you’ll need to use a proxy. Another known cause is Firewall or internet filtering software that runs on the computer (e.g Windows Live Family Safety), if this is the case, the relevant proxy settings need to be acquired, or the software disabled.

• I’ve registered on the website, but I cannot login.

If you’re told your username or password is incorrect, it may be that you registered with a username that is not compatible with the Powder Toy. To keep usernames readable, only alpha-numeric (as well as ‘-‘ and ‘_’) characters are allowed in usernames, any other characters in your username are replaced with a hyphen (‘-‘). Try using your adjusted username to log in. Other common issues are: Your password may have characters that you cannot correctly enter into the Powder Toy, in which case, you should change your password on the website in your profile; You may not have typed your username or password correctly (they are case sensitive). Another rare but possible issue is that the username or password is too long to be entered in the game login screen.

• What is TPT?

TPT means The Powder Toy.

• What is a FP everybody is talking about?

FP means Front Page. It’s the page which is displayed on the site and game by default.

• How can I appear on the FP?

If you will make a decent save, and people will vote for it, you have a chance appearing there.

• My art save was removed from FP. Why? Is art allowed?

Art is allowed, but we don’t like art on the front page. TPT isn’t a game about art, so only saves which actually _do_ something will stay on FP.

• Where should I enter console commands? What is it?

Console is a powerful interface to the powder toy. You can change different element properties, make your own scripts and so on. To open the console you should press

key, which is usually in the upper left corner of your keyboard.

• How do I run scripts with console?

Put a script in the game folder, where TPT executable is. Then open TPT, open console (
