Special section sorting and 2 new special tools

    This is a suggestion for the official powdertoy, I don't want to make my own version



    I think the special section should have a few tools rearranged, mostly Vac and Air should be together in the lineup and Cool and Heat should be together as well

    as for my suggestions: between Vac and Air should be ANOR (or something) which is a normalizer for air pressure (it brings the pressure in the affected area to the default) similarly, there should be a HNOR (i dunno..) between Cool and Heat to normalize temperature for affected particles.

    I think these changes would be useful because it gives a bit more structure to the special category and also sometimes I want to reset temperature or pressure in a simulation without pressing the "new sim" button, and it's hard to do that with the current tools.


    oh and as a side note (I know it has been suggested before, but it's a very good suggestion) I think there should be an "are you sure" dialogue that pops up when you click the new simulation button, as I've often accidentally deleted my work from a slip of the mouse when I didn't mean to click the new sim button.


    As another side note, I think we're going to need more space in the special section :V

    I think the Remove, Remove Wall, Vacuum, Air, Heat and Cool elements should get their own section, not in special. Maybe call it tools or something.

    Don't forget about my normalizing tools suggestion, they would be really useful :V

    Am I allowed to bump this? I feel like it's getting ignored
