We have custom elements.
How about having custom variables that will allow simple arithmetic?
For example, let's say I have a custom element that I want to change to about 8 things, in a specific order. I would want to check the "variable 1" variable and see what value it has, and choose a page or something based on it -- or even explode to that size.

Anyway, variables could be used in the place of just about any configuration "number":
IE element changes to X after VAR seconds,
Where each element is assigned ONE variable to which it identifies itself.

I guess the idea isn't fleshed out very well. Tell me what you think

If I remember correctly, this was already discussed in the last (lost) forum. And the conclusion was, that this is a good idea. :-) In fact, I like it very much, because one can do a lot of new things with this (and it makes quite a lot of things much easier than it is now).

So I see a good change that I will implement something like that one day. :-)

Yes, it has indeed been mentioned before, but it's worth to mention again...

Meanwhile, "Guest", there's a lot of things like variables that can already be done by using mathematical Custom Elements. See my level Advanced Minesweeper 2.0 for some examples... (if you're a good level-analyzer, you'll see that there are some counters counting down to set the size of the sweepable playfield.

Make sure users can access some already existing variables (such as gems collected, time remaining, etc).
