we should be able to set room temperature so snow can fall from sky like normal, but ice and lava would still affect the temperature, but if it's cold, lava won't affect the temperature as much, + IF YOU AGREE, like I said, this game has infinite potential

I agree, needs temperature proof glass and weather control.

You could work on making explosive movement, so when gun or gas of c4 explodes it moves things away. you could just code it in the heat pixels to wake things farther away move less.
I'm working on fluid dynamics to get some sweet shockwaves for the explosives. It is not for the weak of heart, nor for Flash and it's awesome performance, but the iOS HD version will probably have kabooms! (and kerblams too!!).
