Compressed Block Screen

Stubby · 2015-05-30 18:49:24

Everyone with a lot (if not all) blocks knows that their block bar is crowded, and searching for certain blocks can sometimes take a while. With this idea, not anymore.

In this picture, every single package is reduced to a one-block thumbnail, which greatly reduces space. To prevent confusion, packs with a '...' beside them indicate they can be expanded, as opposed to single block packs which cannot. Since the names of the packages are now longer than the packs, I put some light lines to ease reading. When you click on a block, a window opens up, which reveals the entire pack. Choosing a block within a pack will change the thumbnail to the selected block. In the bar at the bottom, the blank gap is filled with a button that toggles compressed blocks, so you can revert to the original if you want.

In the action tab, this can allow many packs to be separated into smaller packs of their own. This can further ease finding what you want. For example, gravity and invisible gravity could separate, and types of doors and gates could separate into key doors, coin doors, time doors, etc. If a block has its own interface (coin doors, portals, signs, etc) and it's inside a window, the interface will simply open above it.

This took me a while to create, what do you think?

This would be wonderful!! Maybe I could keep the block window up and actually see what I'm building lmao

Maybe you can chose the block to display for each package (within each package, of course)

THIS MUST BE IN THE GAME, NOW

For stuff with long names, like Halloween 2011, couldn't you do this:

*Move the 2011 down some; gives more room.

Oh but now I have to remember what package blocks are from.

... use tab to open the menu temporiraly? i don't see this as needed really , just give us higher resolutions to play the game on :3

Dislike this idea, it's just making things more complicated and confusing.

I think the whole "Block Screen" idea needs a rework, it was perfect for 2-3 rows of blocks.

this idea would be pretty handy:

Genius! I love it! It probably would give Toop some more breathing room.

I don't liked the idea, because this don't will be fast for getting the block

The main reason I don't like it is because I don't feel like a package can be represented by a single block (not always, at least), and it's annoying to have to read the names. I like to be able to see all the blocks laid out in front of me, because it's easier for me to find them that way.
