Goal

To create sparks when friction is caused between steel objects and the ground.
To create a "spark forge" and have the public pay to create their own sparks.


Purpose

It creates a whole new level of customization.
The spark forge has potential to sink toricredits.


General ideas

When sparks are created, there can be a set gravity value for the sparks


Spark Forge

Options:
	1.	Velocity
	2.	Color (RGB)
	3.	Size Limit
	4.	Thickness
	5.	Amount




Physics Problems

1. Physics engine currently does not support friction values afaik.
	"ode friction is either on or off"

2. Angles of sparks have yet to be figured out.

3. Interaction between sparks and other objects

Possible Solutions

1. Sparks could be generated based on a duration of contact rather than the amount of pressure
