This one is a larger, and I would guess newer, version of the same concept.

It's got a few more features, like zombies, and better combinations of your 'sand' elements.

That one is so much better, set the zaombies to fifty, pick up the ball (hand tool) and try and grab allt eh zombeis, once their all on your zombie ball, swing it around in circles until it looks like the windows 95 space screensaver

I like putting the zombies in a square room, filling it with oil, using plant to create a wick, and then lighting it on fire.

I use a wall of wax to make a pool of oil then dump the zombies into it and light the wax on fire evenly along the whole outside edge and watch till the fire eats through and ignites them all in an inferno of flaming death.

you can also paint the bottom with fire and just have zombies falls to flaming death as soon as they hit the ground. Fun with x40 zombies.

edit: sadly, the oil in the middle didn't fall to the next container below it and ignite that, so I had to draw wax lines between them

Add salt to the flow of water and you get little salt water bubbles in the plant.

Then light the plant on fire.

Random land-mass creator: Fill screen with water. Set plant at bottom (In a line works best along the bottom) allow plant to creep up halfway. Ignite plant in a glorious explosion from below. Plant burns away while slowly re-making itself on the (now falling through the plant) water.

You end up with some really neat looking landforms in the end.

Replace a screen full of water with a line of a spout, if desired.

Water falls in strange ways through oil, creating interesting little plant formations. The Circles of stone distort the fall even more.

One thing I dislike about the large version is that it eats CPU cycles very very quickly.
Also: Sand is heavier then water, but will stay on top of oil. heh.

If you put anything on a spout it replaces it

No, actually, if you drop oil, water, or salt on top of a spout, nothing happens.

If you drop sand on a spout, the sand will cut through and absorb 95% of the spout.

Also, if you light wax on fire, and have the bits of wax that fall off drop into water (I know it works with water) and then remove the water, the bits of wax will stay in place.

Edit: The falling wax trick works with anything that can catch it I think. You could put a small line of Wall at the bottom to catch falling wax and it would work. Could work as another form of land generation.

No, sand actually destroys spouts. Even if you just sprinkle it on it.

actually, sand replaces spout in the same manner that plant replaces water.

Kinda neat.

Yeah, it's like a reverse plant; turning a solid, immovable object into a fluid one (Spout to sand).

It's fun to come up with elaborate mazes to destroy a spout via small amounts of sand.

Water will make your "snig" grow infinitely, eventually fucking up your interface. Salt will make it shrink, causing its eventually explosion (yeah).

Trying to find some kind of cool trick with wall but it seems pretty boring.

posted 02-06-2006 12:42:39 AM
Another fun thing to do is to turn off all the effects (pouring sand/water/salt/oil), turn off the snig, and turn off zombies. Fill the screen with all and turn zombies back on to x10. Then use Hand to pull the zombies through the Wall you've filled the screen with.

Edit: Hot damn, zombies sure are rubberband-y.
