What about adding magnetism to the game?

    It will be really good to add magnetism and some magnetic reactions, elements whatever, ferrofluid for example.

    I'd love to have realistic magnetism and related things in the game. It can't just be a clone of newtonian gravity, it has to be realistic magnetic fields. Someone that knows more about magnetism than me (and with more time) would probably have to implement it though.

    Well, the question is just how realistically you want to implement it.

    If you want a relatively simple way to implement it, then simplifying physical laws regarding B-fields could work just fine.

    HOWEVER, if you want a realistic magnet, it will be really really hard to code.

     I could try working stuff out with you, but be aware that it could end up feeling relatively similar to newtonian gravity, since those two are very similar to each other.

    Hah, simple-medium magnetism is sufficient.

    magnetism would be fun
