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.)
- Square: Condition Devices (Checker, Tag Zone, etc.)
- Triangle: Action Devices (Teleporter, Repeater, etc.)
- Diamond: Data Devices (Counter, Property, etc.)
Colors: The color signifies the device’s interaction with players.
- Blue: Direct player interaction required (Button, Teleporter, etc.)
- Green: Passive interaction with players (Zone, Sentry, etc.)
- Red: Conditional or Game Rules Devices (Checker, Counter, etc.)
- Yellow: Stores or manipulates data (Property, etc.)
Fill Patterns: The fill pattern determines the device’s state.
- Solid: Active Devices
- Stripes: Passive Devices
- Empty: Inactive or Reset Devices
Lines: Represents Wires.
-
Solid Line: An active wire
-
Dotted Line: An inactive wire
Colors of Lines: Used to represent channels.
-
Black: No channel
-
Different color lines: Different channels
Caveats
- Duplicates (Only 48 total options, if you want to add-on, you can)
- Somewhat difficult to remember
