It's a color printer! Using photon stacks and a powerful new single-chamber particle ROM based on the latest particle-order manipulation paradigm.

    Nevermind about quesiton, just read comments. But still, this work is pretty awesome compared to what I've seen in TPT for... 5 years?

    This is realy breathtaking technology. As I understood, you use compressed photon as memory. And then decrypt using some conv, filt manipulations to get coordinates of pixel and color? Seeing the uniqueness, complexity of this device... I can say that this save can end somewhere in top 5 pages. Also, @mark2222 Did you use script to turn images into TPT insl and then encode them with some pattern into a photon?

    @mark2222 how do you tell the printer which pixel to print next, and where to find that pixel in the memory? or is it only able to read the memory in order and changing the fade pattern would require re-ordering the memory?

    @FuriousWeasel Thanks! @N0tF1sh As MrBurgerMans said. This is an electronics demo, not a deco save. All the images are taken from Google; I don't claim to have drawn any of them. As for mods, I preprocessed the images with Python, transcribed the data to PHOT with Lua, and used my subframe mod (shameless plug :P) for the electronics.

    The save is the printer, not the image.
