So we are clear

Portal [very rough idea]
Ok this is the set up. I describe a nice little puzzle for you, which you solve with your appriture science wormhole generator, aka portal gun. Portal gun enables you to place an end of a wormhole on a flat surface and thus allows you to instantly move through it. Basically it will involve puzzles that require you to rethink your preconceived notions of physics and spacial dimensions.
Before I worked out the specifics I wanted to see if anyone was interested.

I'm interested but I am not sure how this will work by describing the puzzle in words?

Well, we could do it with pictures, like a 5x5 grid, which we can shape and mold into a portal test, just like Portal Flash.
Here's a demo Just draw a picture of the places where portals were used, and a line to show how you went through it, and with what object. You can pick up blocks and fall insane hights. Weird green things with circles are buttons, which can remove a line wall that has the same color surrounding it. Once stepped upon, the wall it's aligned to will disappear immediately, along with anything on the wall (thats not a block). In order to keep the door open, you need to remain on the switch, or use a block to keep it down. A straight blue line indicates a pane of glass, which you can shoot through. A beam of blue made with spraypaint indicates a energy field that is impassable, lethal, but a portal can be shot through it. Spikes: Painful death dealing things. Best to avoid. Checkerboard, finish line and exit. Gold walls: Starting room. Grey walls: Portals cannot be made on these walls. Obviously, if this was used, it could obviously be drawn and done better than what I have done, it's merely a rough draft. And if this is just too difficult, we could just wait until they release the editor and make portal levels...in Portal, and share them.

Hmmm... with your idea, Pyros, this game may work out perfectly.
