maybe a richtor scale for the earthquake thing so you could quantitatively say how earthquake resistant a structure is... like, enter a number, press the button, and presto, an earthquake of specified magnatude and specific duration. that'd be cool.
I wanna natural disasters and non natural disasters in the game (fload, maraton runners, tornados, "mech walkers"), the design of curve high-ways and the implementation of drawbridge.
This is good, but for Xtra, the program need to have the type of earthquake.
And Xtra: terrorist bomb-car blow simulation >=)
What about snow load? Let it snow and we get a measurable, increasing snow load...
(3m high wet snow at almost a ton per square meter is nothing that can be ignored :)
I posted a drawbridge here at
Bridge Replicas and
Intentional Collapse; the latter thread contains more technical discussions, the former more interesting structures, though the drawbridge is the same in both :-)
Snow? oh yeah, I think in a ice cream =), but this idea is excelent!
