In-game Wiki access
-
Maybe you could add wiki access to TPT, in manner similar to level browser? It would be useful, because you would have in-game help, just few clicks away and would add also context help to elements (e.g. when pressing F1, wiki entry for element which is currently selected will show up).
This way, we won't have to have browser AND tpt opened to make more advanced things (for some people, like me, TPT works faster, when browser is closed) -

How to get access:
1. open your browser
2. go to Powdertoy.co.uk
3. click on Wiki
Done... it is already easy enough. -

It definitely will be a speed improvement(over TPT and browser window), but the uses are limited and an UI must be designed.
What about a "?" button in the upper row, clicking on it then clicking on an element displays a little textbox with a thumbnail and a help page with common reactions, uses and properties? IDK.. -

Well, for Implementation, I think this could be like save preview. Mock-up in paint:
Of course links will be clickable and lead to other entries. Code behind it would be similar to code behind save browser. It would fetch database entries directly or via php script (dunno how it works in TPT), then parse it.
