Shop Items

Two basic objects that can be included (the list is far from final) are an inclined plane, and a plank of wood. The inclined plane can either be used as a ramp to clear a gap or simply to access a more elevated position on the map. The plank of wood can be used to act as a bridge to cross a gap, or it can be placed in a body of water to negate the pitfall of the water, unless of course a heavy enough object passes over it, then it should break. Another concept for an item shop item would be to include some kind of explosive device. This could be used to apply additional force to an object at rest that failed to get into a container or destroy/reform terrain where the player feels it’s necessary. This would be a limited stock item.

A more sophisticated item could be the hammer and nail. When purchased a player gets a long carpentry nail to throw into the game area. The mouse turns into a hammer, and if the player can click on the nail, it sticks in place. If the player misses, they get to throw it again but it is shorter. If they miss three times it is done and they have lost their chance to use it. If they do hit it, then it sticks in place, even in air and it will act as a completely unmovable object. Any object struck by this becomes locked into about this point. Objects stuck may be able to rotate around this point if other circumstances allow. The nail slowly pulls out, and once out any pinned object is unstuck and the nail falls.

Information will be presented in metric.
Length will be listed in centimeters. Weight will be listed in grams.
Density will be listed in grams/cubic centimeters(g/cc).
All measurements are real world. Game scale is to be determined.

Plank of Northern White Cedar Wood

* Cost :
* Length : 92 cm
* Width : 8 cm (n/a)
* Height : 4 cm
* Weight : 927.36 grams
* Density : 0.315 g/cc
* Shape : Rectangle
* Notes : 92 cm was rounded off to be close to 3 ft and divisable by 2.

Slight Inclined Plane

* Cost :
* Length : 100 cm
* Width : 30 cm (n/a)
* Height : 18 cm
* Weight : 8505 grams
* Density : 0.315 g/cc
* Shape : Right Triangle
* Notes : Slope has an angle of incline of 10.203973721731684 angular degrees. Ramp is assumed to be made out of the same wood as the plank, and thus it’s density of 0.315 g/cc is used.

Steep Inclined Plane

* Cost :
* Length : 100 cm
* Width : 30 cm (n/a)
* Height : 35 cm
* Weight : 16537.5 grams
* Density : 0.315 g/cc
* Shape : Right Triangle
* Notes : Slope has an angle of incline of 19.290046219188735 angular degrees. Ramp is assumed to be made out of the same wood as the plank, and thus it’s density of 0.315 g/cc is used.

Bundle of dynamite

* Cost :
* Length : 20 cm
* Width : 7 cm (n/a)
* Height : 7 cm
* Weight : 2000 grams
* Density : 2.9 g/cc
* Shape : Cylinder
* Notes : the 7 sticks in the bundle alone were calculated to be 1,968.5908858 grams, which was rounded up to account for the bundling and fuse. Volume for one stick of dynamite was calculated to be 98.17477042468104 cubic centimeters. Rounded down for simplicity. The mass of a single stick of dynamite was calculated to be 281.2272694 grams. Lastly, density was calculated (using the rounded off volume of 98) to be 2.869666014285714, with the last 5 digits repeating. For simplicity is was rounded to 2.9.
