Ideas for the future

Two things: one, i would like the ability to edit the category of a post after it is made, if you cant do this already. Two, i think it would be cool if you made a program that made it really easy to program, ex. visual buttons that you use to set variables and stuff and you can link them. Like "Set variable" if chosen actor was clicked.

In terms of the first point - I guess we could implement this but would it really be that useful unless someone set it by mistake? If a conversation changes that drastically usually it's time for a new thread. Secondly, you can already call methods interactively by right clicking on the actor in the world - so if you provide the appropriate getter / setters in your code then this functionality is pretty much already there!

nvm, it is hard to explain what i mean. how about something that runs your code line by line and visually shows with lines connecting the actors what is happening?

I was thinking that it would be nice to allow the one who started a discussion be able to terminate (not allow any more posts) and/or flag the discussion for deletion (especially if there is no useful information that can be obtained from it (like those that are started, and then, 'OH!, NVM!'). Maybe allow deletion, if, and only if, that one who started it was the only one to post to it.

Like a debugger? ;)

I actually think this should be the other way around almost and that we should perhaps stop people editing the first post - problems and solutions can be useful to others so those that edit questions out to say "NVM, SOLVED!" really aren't helping! If people do that then we can just clear them up by hand (and indeed we do.) What I think would be useful though is perhaps the ability to add a "solved" tag to threads so others can see the solution has been found.

sort of, but you visually see the actors calling things on each other.

Well co-incidentally, that sounds like something I'm looking at as part of my PhD!

Yes - but bear in mind I started said PhD a few months ago. So it'll probably be 3 years or so before it comes to fruition ;)

Best of luck!
