If I encountered this object in game could I interact with it and change it's state (open it, close it, pick it up, move it)? I am differentiating between something like a forge (that I can interact with) and something like a table (that I can stand on) -- while technically I can interact with the table, I don't change it's state.
Summary... Yes Did it exist before LoY? Did it exist before Luclin? Does it have a graphic? No Is it phallic in shape, function or name? (Morit thinks it is, but anyone else probably wouldn't think so) Is it an item? Does it go in the primary, secondary, or range slot? Is it a cat (of any sort, domesticated, wild, etc)? Is it an NPC? Is it a zone? Is it equipable by a PC in a slot? Is it a building/dungeon/shelter or similar? Is it a spell/particle effect? Is it a PC graphic? (it has a graphic in the game and it is definitely related to PC's, but the answer is not in an of itself a "graphic") Is it a map? Is it a location? Is it a spell or ability? Is a dye color? Is it a graphic for a landscape feature? Is it a barrel? If I encountered this object in game could I interact with it and change it's state (open it, close it, pick it up, move it)? Other Morit is no longer on summer break, so he cannot be as active as before. Judging from recent responses since the last summary, Morit probably said something that is accidentally throwing people off, so... Hint: It's actually a kinda straight forward answer, not something obscure or purposely tricky. Remember, Morit wanted this to be a fast/easy game because he knew he couldn't be very active with responses.
I think I'm messing people up with my response to "is it a PC graphic". Just to clarify, the thing I am thinking about has a graphic that can be seen in the game and is related to Player Characters, but the answer itself isn't just a graphic - I would say most people would file it in different categories that haven't been brought up yet.
is it a UI element? (I know we are talking classic here, but classic had a realitivly static UI but i could be going somewhere here, if i am right - even if i highly suspect i am not)
No. That's a pretty cool idea, though. But no, this answer is very simple and straight forward. I thought it would be figured out by now. I think making it simple kinda backfired because everyone is asking questions for really tricky stuff.
