Ursa minor
A twinkling star is a special effect in Powder Game that is created to look like a twinkling star in the real world. A twinkling star can be made using clone and steam. It is usually used as decoration in uploads.
How to make[]
- Create steam in any way, and copy it.
- Put a pen-s 0 dot of clone anywhere on the screen.
- Press Stop.
- Paste the steam next to the dot of clone to charge it (it is recommended to fully surround the clone dot in 8 dots of steam to maximize the chance of charging the clone, as the steam may disappear before the clone charges it if not enough is used).
- Save (for loading purposes) and press start.
How it works[]
Once the clone is charged with steam, it will continue creating steam in place of other steam that disappears. As this cycle continues, the star is constantly active, gaining a "twinkling" effect.
In Powder Game 2[]
Twinkling stars cannot be created stably in Powder Game 2. Unlike in Powder Game 1, if the player creates a twinkling star, saves, and then loads, all steam will disappear in the first frame, which will render it impossible to clone and therefore twinkle.
To create the Powder Game 2 equivalent of a twinkling star, one must use a pen-s 0 dot of conveyer surrounded with a maximum of four C-4 dots, spaced evenly around the conveyer dot. When start is pressed, the resulting star will appear to twinkle as a result of C-4 revolving around it.
