It's a 60hz jumpmachine. Set a particle in the upper chamber to 0x20008000 + [address] and when it reaches that particle, it jumps to [address] (this is a 1024 particle RAM, so only 10 bits are considered). Otherwise it just reads the next particle.

    This is now obsolete, lol.

    It's all complex combinations of ARAY, FILT, CRAY, DRAY, BRAY, PSTN, and solid spark that do stuff together at insanely high speeds...

    Okay. I was thinking about going into computer programming anyway and then I would probably be able to understand

    In the subframe world, every particle counts and they only count when it's their turn to count; when they're "evaluated", that is, they take in their environment filled with the side effects of their siblings and generate side effects of their own. Particles are evaluated in a particular (no pun intended) order: from left to right and from top to bottom. That's something we can exploit and rely on. We essentially write programs using particles, as Schmolendevice has once put it.

    It makes everyone confused. It made me confused the first time around too. It's because it's not what you usually see in TPT. You see a block of FILT changing for no reason where you expect to see wires merrily conducting electricity and sparking away. Well, forget about wires.

    This stuff makes me so confused. I don't understand how you can make and understand so many computerized things. I wish someone could make a youtube video or something to explain real life computer parts, binary, and TPT electronics such as this and computers and other things. I just want to understand how they work and how they work together

    Although in this demo the address bus is copied up from under the unit, while in R16K1S60 a PSTN moves a single DTEC close enough to the address bus for the DTEC to set its colour, which is a much funnier (and compact) way of doing it.

    Well, no, this is what I used for R16K1S60, which is in turn what I used for the RTerm tech demos.

    is this what you used for the Rterm P1 Tech demo?

    Ah. Yeah, by robust I mean easy to re-program. Like for FuriousWeasel's method for really compact counter design which I made a slight variation of, I have yet to find a way to efficiently perform current frame full re-programming of its contents. id:1842938. Currently checking out your latest CPU design. I guess you beat me to it; I was extensively busy with this grade 12 physics projectile motion final project.
