I've reviewed the previous design, which appeared to be totally inefficient, and made this. Also features a 1-per-frame counter setup.

    Sigh, well my counter is getting rather messed up due to some strange timing issues and things just not working. Supposedly if you have an ARAY, FILT and DTEC on the same row, left to right, the order of operations is fire ARAY, propagate through FILT, DTEC scans surroundings. On the row below a BRAY should appear but when scanning that area is cleared.

    @mecha-man Oh, pmap tricks, I haven't considered that before. Thanks for the idea! I've come up with a nice compact ARAY design: 1713452

    @mniip: Using layering you can put DMND on top of the ARAY, this would cause it not to be affected by the CONV, you can even put the BTRY on top of the CONV and then stick a DMND on top of that.

    Here's some unfinished stuff I've been working on. ID:1713171. Perhaps some technology convention or powder IEEE to bring the 'high speed sub-framers' together?

    Ok, i dont understand, how did you come up with this idea in the first place? like did you just think of it when you were on the computer or walking about, or was it an accidental kind of thing?

    @mecha-man Layering won't help much. CONV has to be only adjacent to METL, and ARAY has to be placed before CONV, so that already defines the ^-shape. then there's the fact that the bottom of this construction cannot touch the input line, so you have to lift it by 1px, and add an ARAY in between, and at that point, you already cannot place these thing at every 4px.

    Well I didn't have to use layering for mine. Just once again that I have to deliver some constant spark INST + ARAY into the circuit from the left which makes it technically of a similar thickness to this design but 3 bits per pixel. I use sort of a basic half adder logic and sub frame ripple.

    Yes, your full profile picture just looks familiar.

    There's one word that can solve all your problems, layering.

    @choruseye It's a red summation symbol (capital greek sigma) overlayed over a blue integral symbol. Or do you mean my avatar seems familiar to you as a whole?
