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.

    liking the hexadecimal! OoO this is a truly glorious sequel to your old (if slightly confusing) classic! +1

    I'm quite sure this incredible person has more great save (or even ANOTHER computer?) in its personal save.

    I know how to increase the FPS cap. I do it all the time.

    @unknownkarma Have you tried setting the fps cap via the lua console? I can't test if it works on my computer because LightPC runs at 40fps even at the default fps cap of 60fps.

    @coca_cola If you are at the start of the program, that portion of the program doesn't require touchscreen input, so just wait for a few minutes for Pascal's Triangle to be printed to the screen. After that, the program will prompt you for input, and if you hit the enter button, instructions will be printed on the screen.

    @coca_cola Are you using the draw stuff portion of the program? If you are, note the warning before it not to spark the CRAY. Use the second-smallest pen size possible, spark once accurately the cross in the middle of a single pixel, then wait a few minutes. Note that the touchscreen is much more primitive than the real-life technology you're used to: it doesn't support touch-and-drag, only touch.

    I started to draw random stuff on the touch screen for a long time and the computer broke, how do you use the program that is preloaded to it?

    Well even that won't work because TPT refuses to use all my computer power.

    @mecha-man The clock is only used for relative times, since you would poll the clock twice and find the difference during use. Like your system clock, there is no need to reset it to zero during startup. @Paul99 the only way to "overclock" is to overclock the computer you're using to run Powder Toy with, allowing it to run LightPC at a higher frame rate :)

    Is it possible to overclock?
