Sizes, Weights, and Capacity

Thanks Bullderdash, that helped allot.

Ok, I have another teaser ready, and I've implemented some things suggested.
You can now type "drink <potion> or "use <potion>".

This is the lab room, the room right after the cell room, there's a machine.
When you type "use machine" a dialog will pop up asking you to enter a sequence.

1314 - Gender Change potion
12567 - BE potion

The machine will drop the potion in the room, you have to use "get" to get it.

The output is still only there for testing. It will be replaced with something more juicy.

I'd also like to ask if people would prefer the measurements to be metric or imperial. Please pm me your suggestions

so what game is this for?

You need Java 1.6 installed. It works as thus:

You enter commands in the bottom text box, usually in the format "<command> <target>"

The commands are: look, get, drink, and stat.
Blue text will later mark doors, green text marks items. You use the coloured part for the targets

Walthrough:
look
get brown
drink brown

You can type "stat' in between to see your character's stats.
And you can type "grow" to make your breasts grow, although it is more a cheat, and doesn't doe much except change the "stat" description.

I'm probably gonna ask someone for art later to replace the Cyan bit, but that's only if it's worth going ahead with.

It's gonna be a puzzle game where you use BE, GTS, AP, and the like to solve puzzles.

Watcha think?

This needs a bit o work

I still have problem to find a program to run those files. ^^;
Could someone put up a link?

If the dimensions change equally by any factor, then the mass and volume change by that factor cubed.

It gets worse. Whoever wrote that note Hawkeye quoted messed up the arithmetic.

Taking the 73 gallons (wherever they got that from) does give 584 pounds. But water has a density of 62.5 lbs/ft^3 (or 1000 kg/m^3), so 584 lbs. only has a volume of 9.34 cubic feet. You can get the diameter of a sphere by dividing its volume by about 0.524, and then taking the cube root of that result. [I'll be happy to supply the derivation if anyone really wants it...] So you only get a diameter of about 2.6 feet, not 24 feet!

(C'mon, there are water towers with diameters of 24 feet -- a sphere of water that big would weigh over 200 tons! Another check: you're mostly water! If you and two friends, weighing around 450-600 pounds total, huddled down to form a rough sphere, how big across would that be? Closer to 3 feet across, or 24 feet?)
