Sound, Physics, and Enhanced Explosions.

    Hello, please excuse me for any mistakes or things foreign from this site, this is my first time here.

    I love the new powder toy version, it is very fun, but I think there is still room for improving. I'm not sure if any of this is possible, but I posted this on another forum and got positive feedback.

    Sound
    Something I don't like about powder is the eerie silence when blowing things up and burning wood figures. I think that powder should play sounds like fire crackling when something is burning, water rushing when water movement is present, and an explosion sound for explosions. Also the intensity of the sound is determined by things like amount of water moving, amount of fire, force of explosion, etc.

    Physics
    In big destroyable cities, blowing up a metro system and then watching the floating city burn would not be as exciting as watching the building collapse or fall into the fire. I think there should be a "freeze/unfreeze" tool, so you can select elements to unfreeze. But this would only work on solids, and liquids and gas are moved and affected by falling solids.

    Enhanced Explosions
    I don't mean extremely awesome tastic graphical explosion, I mean that when an explosion occurs in a metal structure, instead of the metal breaking into dust, it would break into physical chunks of metal, then to be broken down into dust if further damage is received.


    At this point, I don't think we should add more elements, I think that there should be an easy little element maker for people, it would be fun to play with

    Prepare for flaming...Physics have been rejected as it would require a whole new system. Enhanced explosions... Not really needed. This is Powder Toy not Physics Toy.

    Sorry. I'm new.
    Glad to hear sound is a possibility
