I thought a lot about Framsticks and what could be made with the idea of
Framsticks. To get a realistic simulation of life we would need to simulate
each atom or molecule interacting with each other and even more. That's a
thing of impossibility, therefore we would need faster computers. But there
could be a bit more
specialization.
Here are some suggestions:
Each stick, bone can have several parameters:
* hardness (1: hard, but brake easy, 0: very flexible, elastic, brakes
hardly ever)
* friction (as in Framsticks)
Some stick's-ends (at least 3) can build up a skin. These are needed to make
birds fly, mantha's swim or other animals. Therefore Framsticks would a need
a complete new physics-engine (also 3d-engine) and much more cpu-power but
the possibilities are also much higher.
Skin can behave like:
* leather (very robust, hard to destroy)
* bird-like skin (feathers)
* fish-like skin
* human-like skin (not very robust)
* hairy (warmer)
and even more
Muscles can have such parameters:
* strength (is stronger, but needs more energy)
* behavior (0: is very quick, but not strong, 1: is very slow, but also
strong)
What do you think about it?
