Ivel236 and I made a printer to demonstrate MASS PHOTON STORAGE. There are extra roms in the save and here (ID: 2201571 ) Here is the script to make your own roms for the printer. Subphoton ROM Builder: https://starcatcher.us/scripts?view=136

    This is insanely incredible... It feels like TPT has entered an industrial revolution!

    @mad-cow: Thanks for the shoutout - I've found a way to convert subframe filt data into a photon stack, but I haven't been able to reverse the order and data can't be written again after being read. The save isn't published but the link's somewhere below. I'll tinker and publish sometime this week.

    @aj22r ah nice, I don't have enough time to view it(lol) but I suppose thats the first thing a commenter made so cool cool . . . . @TheNik well currently we're developing a way to either preserve or duplicate the stack prior or during the read cycle. it seems Motaywo has also looked into this to shout out to them. I'll check that out later

    This is pretty damn awesome. I don't think this is useable beyond one-time ROMs, but this is already enough for most programs. And come on, who doesn't love a new TPT tech gem? Have an upvote from me, and I can't wait to see this combined with subframe computers for /awesomeness/! Thank you for creating this! :-)

    @mad-cow id:2202064 this should work. Also check your PMs

    190.867 GiB in the whole screen? That's amazing...

    @MEOWS 1 photon can hold 29bits of data and 1bit as null. In this demo 1photon holds (4) 7bit numbers per photon. Since photons can stack indefinitely, you can have around 230,000 photons in a single pixel and still have some room to build something to read them. . . . . @aj22r hmm your save is gone. I haven't seen nor do I plan on seeing that movie lol, well I'm glad to see someone use the script though.

    @SpiritusLuman777 oh that happens when a newline character is manually sent to the printer and the auto newline fires, for some reason the two of them conflic and a character is allowed to slip through and print. . . . . @romulusnr we put 4 characters per photon, by encoding their 7bit addresses into the phot. Its explained in the test rom: 10 0101010 1010110 0010101 0101111 with the 7 bit blocks each being 1 letter.

    this NEEDS to be immortalised to the 2nd page
