An element idea

Not really, I actually started making something like that in PHP ( I know right ) like 8 month ago. It would let you enter the properties of the element you want and it would generate the C code -

So an external editor? Like eschaton? That sounds great! Now we can watch the n00bs spend months trying and failing to generate movable solids :D -
Cracker64 actually had this going once, but it was kind of laggy because it reported the element data from a text file while the game was running if I remember right.
...The only issue with this is how complex it would be. It's not as bad as asking for a periodic table, but almost every element in the game so far has its own custom program code. It wouldn't be quite so simple to just add a scripting language for every known possible facet of how an element can behave with regards to other elements.
On the other hand, you have Falling Sand games like wxSand, where you can program in like 20000 different interactions between up to around 250 elements. Except you don't have wind, pressure, etc etc.
