Touchpaper - Elemental Surfaces for GameMaker

Touchpaper - Elemental Surfaces for GameMaker is a GameMaker asset for GameMaker, paid.
Touchpaper gives the ground a state, and lets fire, water, frost, oil, lava and lightning argue over it. Every cell of your map carries a material and five numbers - heat, wetness, charge, fuel and flags - and the materials react. Dry grass catches and the fire crawls with the wind, leaving charred ground and ash. A soaked strip is a firebreak.
Cold freezes a river into a sheet the player can walk on, and heat thaws it back. Light one end of an oil spill and the whole trail runs. A spark earths through water, wet ground and metal. Lava lights what it touches, boils the water beside it and crusts to stone where it is quenched. None of it is scripted.
There is no fire event and no ice event: the rules are properties of the materials, so combinations you never planned still work. All of it is drawn by the product The ground, the flames, the light, the smoke, the ice and its cracks, the lava crust and the lightning are generated at run time from primitives. There is no sprite sheet and no sprites/ folder in the package.
