[Coding/Content] Ex

Aliases

• Ex
• explosion
• blast

Definition

Ex is coded when the main content is an explosion or an explosive scene.
The key point is the bursting event itself, not just smoke or brightness.

Conditions

• Use it for explosion, blast, detonation, or a clearly named explosive scene.
• It may include sparks or debris as long as the person keeps the central idea of explosion.
• If the main focus is fire or smoke rather than explosion, first reconsider scoring-input/contents/Fi.

Cautions

• Ex and scoring-input/contents/Fi may coexist visually, but they are not the same code.
• Ex requires an explosive event; Fi requires fire or smoke as the main content.
• Do not use Ex for a mere sense of energy or motion.
