It's a color printer! Using photon stacks and a powerful new single-chamber particle ROM based on the latest particle-order manipulation paradigm.

  @Damian97 Thanks! I think my GPU and touchscreen, or Qweryntino's snake game on the R1 are cooler technologically, actually -- this is really just a fancy particle ROM. @sentinal-5 The color and position is encoded in the phot stack in the top left, and are passed into the four demultiplexers for decoding. Changing the fade pattern would require reordering the phot stack but not the particle ROM -- the particle ROM just converts a color value (e.g. #33e) into a deco'ed INSL.

  Nevermind about quesiton, just read comments. But still, this work is pretty awesome compared to what I've seen in TPT for... 5 years?

  This is realy breathtaking technology. As I understood, you use compressed photon as memory. And then decrypt using some conv, filt manipulations to get coordinates of pixel and color? Seeing the uniqueness, complexity of this device... I can say that this save can end somewhere in top 5 pages. Also, @mark2222 Did you use script to turn images into TPT insl and then encode them with some pattern into a photon?

  I dont understand how..... But I love it

  @mark2222 how do you tell the printer which pixel to print next, and where to find that pixel in the memory? or is it only able to read the memory in order and changing the fade pattern would require re-ordering the memory?

  Ohhh my...... this is just cool... first image most best. And... +1, ... ohhh... it just most epic cool save i ever seen. Before I saw this, I thought I'm good in electronic... Ha-ha ...

  Nice! You have a way with computers!

  @FuriousWeasel Thanks! @N0tF1sh As MrBurgerMans said. This is an electronics demo, not a deco save. All the images are taken from Google; I don't claim to have drawn any of them. As for mods, I preprocessed the images with Python, transcribed the data to PHOT with Lua, and used my subframe mod (shameless plug :P) for the electronics.

  The save is the printer, not the image.
