Ideas to improve game play in the future.
-
Below are just a few concepts I wanted to share and inspire others. I just wanted to improve PT for future use in the growing community. Remember..these are suggestions, and not needing to be added.
Flagging
I was thinking of a flagging system for mods to check a public system. Lets say like this...

[Small flag]
The user could click it, which will send the info and the user name of who reported it (To stop abuse). Next it'll be sent to a database where all moderators can check and un-flag (Also a history file showing who edited with reasons). Once action/investigation done, moderator takes down the flag.
Genre saves
Make new categories of genres, such as games and role-play. If so have user place it, but mods can sort any too.
Powder super script
A command panel or text editor that users can use premade/function codes programed to be activated. Almost like when you script PHP. So users can make new effects on a console, or triggers.
Sound box
Bit in concept, but a small sound box, like in PowerPoint. Place it as if it was a sign, and select from certified sound base. -

Tags already serve this purpose with better functionality. Just needs some consistency. Perhaps having a "Categories" tab where the Popular Tags are. These "Categories" are just tags, though the ones displayed are chosen by the community or mods or whatever.Lockheedmartin:Powder super script

An in game one wouldn't work with the current engine state of PT.
An external editor for generating C code IMO would be too limiting. -
i have a suggestion that will improve game play... weight, like one particle of (a liquid or powder) weighs a certain amount and the game must see how much particles are in a certain space. this would be useful because if you stack something on top of (a solid) it would break under a certain load, you should be able to turn on and off this feature. i think users would have LOTS of fun with this feature

in the source you would need a new unit it would be like pressure and temp, and new definitions on what a solid particle would do if too much weight would be applied. if i knew c completely i would be able to do it but i do not. but ya that would be cool if you could make that -
i made a version with no gravity
(some solids make the powder move around)
(pressure moves powders/liquids)

i think you misunderstood, what i meant in my first post was the unit weight would work with the gravity and the more particles on a "2 particle span of glass" the more weight would be on the glass until it broke. what the powder toy would need to do is count the number of "glass" particles down and to the side, determine the max possible load and change it into "Broken Glass" and then let gravity do the work.
