Sound effects... In powder toy???

    So I've been wondering for a while now if it would be possible to add sound effects to powder toy. A lot of people say it isn't possible because adding sound effects would mean having a sound play for every single one of thousands of particles, causing lag and really loud and ear- exploding bursts of sound. However, I think I've come up with an alternate method of rendering sound effects that wouldn't cause lag at all and would actually be pleasant to the ears. I haven't gotten ALL the details worked out, but I should have the concept and a video explanation done by 10/19. I know that this post doesn't really have anything to do with anything, but I just figured I would put this post out there because I'm really excited about (potentially) having sound effects in this game.

    I know it's been rejected before, but that was always someone asking for the idea, not explaining how it might work.

    The solution I've seen that can work is to have a NOTE element (note blocks) which plays sounds. The normal elements themselves won't have it, just the new one.

    I still would rather not add sound to the game as I don't feel like it fits. Also, nobody has made a NOTE element that sounds good before. I'm sure it's possible, but ever sound implementation I've seen just sounds bad.

    If you have an idea, you should post it. If you can't create the video right now, maybe a text explanation would work.

    Finishing the video right now. I Will post when done. Unfortunately, I'll probably have to upload it on Tuesday.

    I think this would be a great addition especially the music as it really lightens up the experience
