A 0.6 Hz full-fledged WiFi-less 29-bit computer based on photon technology. Rather fast. WARNING: May lag. Note: The first part of the default program does not require input. Press the On button and LightPC will print Pascal's Triangle automatically.

    @thepowderscientist yeah, slow if you compare it to real-life processors. But as per my research (see the forum post) it's one of the fastest on TPT in general.

    THIS LOOKS REALLY LIKE A CPU OMG!!! I LOVE THIS :D but its a sort of kinda slow :<

    @Salt you need to touch the pixels one at a time (with a single click, don't hold), don't hit the CRAYs, and wait for the program to respond after each touch. Are you using the drawing program? It's admittedly really slow :P

    @bimmo_devices Yep, it's Sierpinski's triangle, though Sierpinski's triangle is really a fractal so it's not technically Sierpinski's triangle either. Besides, I would think Pascal's triangle is more well known :) As for how it's generated, it does use Pascal's Triangle but it only stores whether each number is even or odd (as bits in a single integer). This turns addition into an XOR which is why it's quite fast. See the code in the forum :D

    si-er-pin-ski's gasket, isn't it? or at least a spin off. I understand that Pascal's Triangle can be used to create the gasket by considering odd antries as 'on' and evens as 'off'. Is that how it works?

    @Rawing hey, at least the RAM looks like part of an Intel chip :D (actually, why /are/ Intel chips so colourful anyway?) @Schicko I wouldn't consider it that much of a waste of time. I did learn quite a bit about compilers (see forum post!) and computer architecture.
