possibly removing SOAP

    It's possible but not recommended to remove an element... Replacing is easy :)

    Removing is easy too.
    Just remove any .C linkings(int update_ELEMENTNAME(UPDATE_FUNC_ARGS);) to the element. If it just doesn't react with other elements. Then leave the "#define elementname number" there and it'll be OK. Also you'd need to remove the element description from the element struct.

    It's a step to movable solids. We're not removing it anytime soon. So stop complaining it's useless.

    Why do you think that it's a step to movable solids? Just I can't remember if somebody officially said that.

    He doesn't just think that. It kinda is, cause it makes bubbles move as whole. For movable solids we'd need solids to move as whole.

    Bubbles are just loops of connected particles, no more, no less. It's not step to movable solids, not "try of technology" or so. I even doubt that there are going to appear more elements using connections like in soap.

    It is I guess a step but @savask is right, thre is not a reeason they would us the connections like insoap for anything else

    Did you know? ETRD uses connections like soap, except that connection is made of plasma and appears for only one spark.

    well that is sort of, but it does not stay connected and it is held between to stationary solids

    Haha, it's not connection like in soap at all.
