I was thinking of making a structure/class for the element type;
something along the lines of this:
element name,
element number,
element wpcc //weight per cubic centimeter, or rather, density.
element fragility_bits, // bit_0 may be flamability, bit_1 ...
element color,
Naturally, I haven't fully developed this idea. Most of my ideas
end up like this [I have a notebook or two full of them, and by
god, some day I'm going to implement them all!] I get ideas faster
than I can produce results. It's very sad... (Sad that I'm not a
brilliant speed demon who never needs sleep, even sadder that I'm
not getting payed to play around with all of my ideas... ;)
Anyway,I guess in the above example, the current object in question
would get a 'glass' element attached, which would then be modified
by the creator to suit their needs. (Change the color to blue, or
something.) This way, when created, you just drop in a similar type
of element, and modify the parts that you don't like. Oh well, it's
just a thought.
-Q-
(If this formatting is botched, I was trying out a different mail
reader, and so I'm not sure how this outputs. I am switching back
to my old one, so if this is screwed, don't worry, the rest won't
be. Sorry if it is.)
