add action menu option to resize city or alter height

the current green table appears at knee-height for me. it would be nice for it be at about waist height, for more comfortable interaction. a mechanic like the table-height-adjustment flagpole control in The Castle Will be Mine would be a nice enhancement 😄

Good inspiration, thanks for sharing. The whole controls could use a reworking. A few ideas:

• allow city floor height adjustment only (like you suggested)
• allow dual grip to increase/decrease size of entire area and control rotation - similar to tilt brush and locomancer. this would address table height adjustment issue

Regardless, would like to add teleport controls as well.

PS originally it was intended to be an "on the floor" game for kids, but as I use it more I think adjustments should be available since people use it in many different ways

it's the perfect height for a kid standing on the floor. thought that might be the original design 😄

Here are a few ideas:

• Add an option on the "actions menu" for "Change City Height". It could show a flag or vertical pole indicating to the user to grab and drag the pole up or down which adjusts city. This would be simple for VR newbies as it is only 1 axis of change and could be made to limit the rate of movement to prevent VR sickness.
• Add a more general option on the actions menu for "Move City" - it could be kinda like those "magic hands" and let you grab (trigger?) with both vive wands to grow, shrink, rotate and change the center point of the city. This might be very disorienting to VR newbies and might cause VR sickness. This could also be activated without the menu by "grabbing" both controllers at the same time.

option 1) sounds like a nice approach
