Quick Question: Should this be Devices or Community Made Guides ?
Okie dokie, so, I saw these topics:
You may see me put pictures on the forums that look like this:

This is a technical shorthand, which I am calling letter-device format. You draw the device system instead of going into Gimkit to test things out. You can then test it later on, but you have the basic idea across.
(You do not have to add color code to it)
The symbols:
Straight line: Wire

Curvy line (it needs to look curvy): Channel

Curvy line that transitions into a straight line or just a str…
This is a somewhat more complex system of visualizing devices and a few other Gimkit Creative elements, this was inspired by ClicClac’s Letter-Device format - Community Made Guides - Gimkit Creative . This system uses shapes, colors, lines, and fill patterns to symbolize different aspects of Gimkit Creative systems. Here’s a basic guideline:
Shapes: The shapes represent devices, with the type indicating the device’s primary function.
Circle: Interactable Devices (Button, Team Switcher, etc.)

and I decided to make my own notation…
So I shall present…

rename the shorthand for “Deactivate (In): deAc” to Deactivate (In): Dc for consistency.
AC/DC
Why
if you are an electrical engineering student, or a fan of a certain rock band, you’ll get it

I guess it’s just better for making long guides or just guides in general or big answers to a topic.

I’ve already said this m, but I guess I’ll say it again. Notation like this just makes newer users have to learn yet another thing when using these forums. I really don’t get how this sort of notation helps. I’d say that pseudocode or grouping up device systems and explaining the logic would result in better communication.

LOL
I took a basic engineering class and I’m a music fan, so I get it.

the periodic table of gkc elements (you could make this a table format too btw)
you should make a counter-linked property be ctr-pty
(also, i added no t to the counter because it sounds bad )
