Trigonal-Cyclic Read/Write might be the next step towards a mass-photon RAM unit... except I can't figure out how to make it work! I'm publishing this as a plea for help and to kick off discussion. Any and all feedback/advice/comments are appreciated!

    @Draco712: Not much that's new as of yet, but I've got a new idea on the tip of my brain... It's more of an intinct than a theory at this point, but it involves messing around with the order of particle creation. I'll get back to you with more details once I know more.

    Hmm,... any current updates here?

    @Draco712 Indeed, the wonders of vector addition. After a visit to FRAY.cpp :), indeed, it uses the same scan order as DTEC via a nested for loop, effectively through 8 normalized vectors, finds SPRK, flips that vector and then searches tmp pixels in that direction for particles to "accelerate". So we can indeed shorten FRAY's radius. Otherwise, the velocity calculation is just as Draco712 describes. Celsius temp divided by 10.

    It seems I've countered your wall of text with my own

    Layering FRAY to apply a sum of velocities is just plain brilliant. As for the motion vectors, I had noticed that, which was actually how I came up with the idea for a trigonal system - Vector addition is one of my favourite topics in physics and I'm glad to have a chance to apply some of it!

    @Draco712, no worries about the comment wall... I've been known to do that myself from time to time! As for the content itself: I did notice that upon reloading certian temperatures rounded to #.85C - I assumed it was from some internal conversions between Celcius and Kelvin, and didn't realize there was any order or predictability to it.

    sorry... I overmade a wall of text here. :p

    Also another thing to explain, though this covers some physics, and maybe you already know this. lol... When applying FRAY forces, think of it as vector forces. Applying FRAYs, one pointing left and another up, to a PHOT causes it to go northwest. Applying a downward FRAY (80.00C) to a PHOT speeding right (at 8 pixels/frame) causes the PHOT to go southeast with a velocity of 8 pixels per frame. (not the expected straight down). Well, FRAY is 'adding' the force, not 'setting' it.

    You applied 74C, the PHOT might escape shortly with that xD

    So... to have FRAY values above 149 be the exact value you want, do some stacking so it adds up to the desired value... Also one thing, set the FRAYs' temp to exactly 70.00 if you want the PHOT to travel exactly 7.000 pixels, and not by some 7.200, which would be quite off...
