Gunpowder could be placed down similar to redstone, but no need for repeaters or redstone. It would work like a fuse, play a hissing sound, and would be ignited by flint and steel or redstone. It would burn fast at 1 block every 5 ticks or 4 blocks a second. If it is not hooked up to anything, it just burns out or if a block is broken and ignites fire at that block. If it hits a block of TNT, it primes that block, if it hits an intersection of 4 ways, it spreads and lights the other 3, or if it hits a T-shape of gunpowder, it ignites the other 2 ways. Any mob or player who walks (unless sneaking) over a lit block will be set on fire for a few seconds.

It's definitely an interesting concept, but it'd be ultimately redundant due to redstone being both instantaneous and easier to obtain.
Watch out for the crabocalypse. Some say the day will never come. But it will.
Feel free to drop by for a chat whenever.
If you'd like to talk with me about other games, here are a few I play.
Team Fortress 2
Borderlands series (Borderlands 2 is my favorite game, ever. TPS combat is a lot of fun and makes up for the lower-quality story, in my opinion)
Elder Scrolls series
Warframe (IGN is something like That_One_Flesh_Atronach)
Pokémon series (HGSS forever)
Rocket League
Fallout series
Left 4 Dead 2 (Boomer files always corrupt though)
SUPERHOT (SUPERHOT is the most innovative shooter I've played in years!)
Dead Rising series (Dead Rising 2 is one of my favorite games, and the 3rd was a lot of fun. 1st has poor survivor AI and the 4th is bad)
Just Cause series
Come to think of it, I mainly play fighting-based games.
