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.

    So you can actually code programs for this, epic! What is the maximum framerate it can create, is it enough for any game?

    @coca_cola it actually calculates it through bitshifs and XORs. Check the forum post for the source code.

    Does this computer actually calculate the triangles it draws or does it just read and print them?

    @sentinal-5 Yes, it's hex, but the prime finding software does bin-to-dec conversion in code, so the output is actually dec :) Also, TPT has a default FPS cap of 60. To increase it you need to enter "tpt.setfpscap(new_fps_cap)" in the Lua console.

    @mark2222 oh. XD sorry, i just saw the input went from 0 to F.. isn't that HEX? MY LIFE IS A LIE! lol btw, i'm running TPT on a 5-core, 2.5GHz with 6GB RAM and a x64 OS. i can run crysis on Ultra with no lag whatsoever, but TPT never hets more than 57 FPS for me. ;-;

    How do you start the program that draws the triangles?

    @puhba @ismine pretty sure Powder Toy's performance depends on more factors than just your processor speed, such as other programs running in the background and the amount of available RAM space. Mine is a 2.4 GHz 4 core and it runs fine at 40 fps.
