I just had an idea for something that could possibly be added to the game. I'm wanting to be careful about adding features to the game, because it means more to learn for new players, and could potentially put people off from playing.
The idea is an 'entropy bomb'. Usually once you get the value of an entropy cell from -100 to 0 or greater, the cell becomes active in the game. What I was thinking about was having a small chance that this cell becomes a 'bomb'. It would be set to a random number (within a reasonable range), and it would decrease by one each time any cell on the grid is clicked. If it reaches zero, it destroys a part of your inventory.
It would add a nice challenging element to the game, however getting the balance of this right is important. If it's too easy, it's just an annoying thing hindering the game, if it's too hard, why bother playing if all your hard work is repeatedly destroyed?
I was also thinking of adding a graph screen, where it would simply plot the mass of your universe along with the number of particles against the current level you are on.
Finally, an idea which would have to be implemented much later is to actually be able to place your clusters of galaxies and stars etc. You would then have to find habitable zones, and place all the humans and animals you have created in these zones, you complete the game once they are all safely placed.
What do you think? Please leave a comment or email me at ElderSamKennedy@gmail.com and let me know :)
