Chronic Logic

I also want to test levels/levelpacks, so please send some to tvahtera@yahoo.com.

I agree: Linux version would be really nice, because more and more people are having linux nowdays (I think ;-))

The idea is excellent !
And also raising bridges would fit; you could either build high arch or raising bridge.
Maybe a new level type besides "normal" and "complex" ? Or a sub-level to those, like "normal -expert" and "complex -expert" or something like that ?

Maybe just like an UI from some 3D modeling programs: four customable viewports, example top, left , front and perspective ?
But it might need a new game, like pontifex pro ?

Good idea for a few minute bridge building experience if you have played all levels you have.
But is it possible to create it so it would count the money, difficult, etc. correct ?

Constructing anchor points is a great idea !
How about multiplayer racing:
Both(every) palyers do their own bridges and then a race, when random quakes appear, over bridges n times both/one way and who is fastest gets a money bonus for next level.

Geat idea, I hate when in my bridges have ~10 links on it and I have to destroy them all to move them one grid point...

I agree  Chillum

I don't know how full collision detection would cope with this, but I suspect it'd be messy :-("

....it might have worked in original bridgebuilder thought ?

I agree, first pre-tension cables then replica bridge contests.

Athlon T-Bird 800 MHz + 256 mb + GF2 GTS - running smoothly
                                                   + Radeon  -  texture colors not so great - not so fast
K6-2 400 MHz + 196 mb + TNT2   -  unplayable

It would be really cool.
There might also be like two level bridges which would have traffic on upper level and trains on lower level.

NO for arch tool (we are supposed to built bridges, not computer)
YES for X-symmetry option

Great idea. But I think it is better first add these "minor" adjustments like new materials,ships etc.

Excellent ideas !
