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

    how many pixels per second and minute?

    @WaffleOtter It's subframe! @danieldan0 Yeah it would, but you'd need a second ROM. There's also a new multiple-activation technique (create and delete particles in the same position with different IDs) that would allow much of the circuitry -- and the ROM -- to be reused, but I haven't (and probably wouldn't, for a long while) gotten around to implementing it. @UltraCheesyPies Thanks! @DrBrick Yay, someone who didn't pick the last image :D

    nice save. would it be faster if it used multiple write heads or something? +1

    What is this sorcery?

    @Damian97 Thanks! I think my GPU and touchscreen, or Qweryntino's snake game on the R1 are cooler technologically, actually -- this is really just a fancy particle ROM. @sentinal-5 The color and position is encoded in the phot stack in the top left, and are passed into the four demultiplexers for decoding. Changing the fade pattern would require reordering the phot stack but not the particle ROM -- the particle ROM just converts a color value (e.g. #33e) into a deco'ed INSL.

    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?
