User:Mr. Fataled/Weapons, utilities and power-ups

A new Worms game can't have no new weapons. Or utilites. Or power-ups. Wait, what's the difference?

Well, in original Worms Armageddon, only a few things were called utilites. Not it's everything that not hurts or it's not its general purpose (such as Ninja Rope, Girder, Blowtorch etc).

What about power-ups? Well, they're are basicly renamed instant use utilites and now they have separate power-up create, because it was strange for me that one create type can contain both inventory items and instant use.

Interface problems

Even thought so many weapons and utilites cannot be used in any way, their amount will still be too big for a small panel that we have in Armageddon. I currently have two solutions.

The first one, is a big panel. Yes, it will took a lot of screen space, especially on laptops, but! I have one interesting idea. What if we will divide it not only with "rows", in which you can choose weapons with buttons F1-F12, but also into "columns", in which you can choose weapons by buttons 1-0. You can also press these buttons at the same time to get weapon you need immideantly. It may be even faster than we have now, but again, it would take an insane amount of screen space.

Another one, is creating multiple small menus, between which you can switch. It would free a screen space, but it would take some additional time to switch between them, and also, you need to keep in mind what panel you currently have.

Later I' create an article for each of them, but now, I have no time.
