LightPC (0.6 Hz computer) by mark2222
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.

@Salt you need to touch the pixels one at a time (with a single click, don't hold), don't hit the CRAYs, and wait for the program to respond after each touch. Are you using the drawing program? It's admittedly really slow :P -

ummm the off button startedd to flash and a red laser went through the touch screen and everything was flashing with elctricity all i did was to draw a smiley on the screen D: -
mark2222 26th Jun 2014@bimmo_devices Yep, it's Sierpinski's triangle, though Sierpinski's triangle is really a fractal so it's not technically Sierpinski's triangle either. Besides, I would think Pascal's triangle is more well known :) As for how it's generated, it does use Pascal's Triangle but it only stores whether each number is even or odd (as bits in a single integer). This turns addition into an XOR which is why it's quite fast. See the code in the forum :D

si-er-pin-ski's gasket, isn't it? or at least a spin off. I understand that Pascal's Triangle can be used to create the gasket by considering odd antries as 'on' and evens as 'off'. Is that how it works? -

mark2222 26th Jun 2014@Rawing hey, at least the RAM looks like part of an Intel chip :D (actually, why /are/ Intel chips so colourful anyway?) @Schicko I wouldn't consider it that much of a waste of time. I did learn quite a bit about compilers (see forum post!) and computer architecture.

@mark2222: "no wifi" isn't meaningless. *Unless* the computer takes up the entire screen, which back in the day was pretty much standard. Anyway; the computer's great! It's less colorful than I expected a PHOT computer to be, though :( -

Wow. I'm gonna guess that you have a lot of spare time. For wasting it on TPT and coming up with this, I give you a +1 and commend your creation sir/ma'am: Holy crumpets, this is ossum. :O -
mark2222 26th Jun 2014@Box-Poorsoft haha funny how everyone remembers it as the one without WiFi (and many people advertise their processors as WiFi-less nowadays), it was originally meant to be a joke since it's such an insignificant achievement xD@h4zardz1 lightning (THDR) produces the best results ;)
