Because it was dumb

Your GOL rube goldberg save was great, why did you delete it?

after seeing what it does yes, so what is a decrementer !?

Anyone else just spark everything at once to see it break?

Well, I can't seem to reproduce these results any longer... Strange.

Something really interesting is that GOLD initiates a "safety wire" to go slightly faster, even though no GOLD is used during the transmission. One not initiated by GOLD falters every few frames, even though no difference seems to be visible.

The CRAY "wire" works very well as a "safety wire" which cannot be sparked from anywhere other than the intended end where the PSCN is. It can also round corners and has a couple other neat features.

@Demoman200 It depends on particle order which is calculated upon saving and based on the position of the particle relative to all the other particles. TPT scans from left to right in rows from top to bottom giving each particle a unique ID which in turn is the order they are processed in. This means that the conv ID has to be after the conductor ID in order to have time to conduct before it is reset, hence the directional aspect. This is why the Conv is on the line below the conductor.

decrementer = counter

Wow, you make some pretty neat stuff. +1! I am still completely baffled by subframe tech. Why is it so direction dependent?
