I made a computer again. It can do a lot of stuff the previous one couldn't and still can't do a lot of stuff I'd like it to be able to do. It definitely can solve quadratic equations. Check the relevant forum thread too. And try tpt.setfpscap(2)!

    What is the communication protocol of the RT2?

    SPRK spreads in its update function, and yes, you can get weird behaviour if you let a SPRK be created with some random ID. If you really need to do that, there's a technique that lets you control what IDs are assigned to newly created particles, but it's somewhat complicated. It's actually a more recent development than this creation, so this uses none of that. I won't explain it in the comments but if you join #powder-subframe, someone certainly will.

    Just a general question on subframe, is sparks spreading to other conductors handled in SPRK's update function, or is it in the simulation code directly? That being said, is it safe to C/DRAY a SPRK onto an empty space, because its ID would be unspecified?

    manual does a perfect job at teaching assembly though cuz it's so well writen

    Would have been odd if it didn't.

    i tried doing it with one of the examples for that really tiny tesla-whatever and it worked!

    Oh so you asked about tptasm in the comment section of a save that you knew has nothing to do with tptasm. Perfect way to confuse me. Anyway, tptasm *does* also use assembly, it just doesn't support this particular computer. As for the terminal's ROM, the characters are not "unused", they're readily available to anyone who uses code points 128 and above. Nobody does though. *shrug*

    i "typed" that so fast because the whole comment including the bonus thing was too long so i split it up using Ctrl+X

    bonus: ive found an unused easter egg character in that FILT ROM in the terminal, i was messing around with it and one of the characters it printed when i turned it on was a smileyface. ive also found other unused characters but the smileyface one seemed the most interesting to me.

    lol, and i wanted to ask when R3 comes out because ive seen its name in the list of supported computers in the tptasm page, and NO i didn't use that script on this R2, i used Sam_Hayzen's Tesla-ADwhatever. i even tried the pixel of QRTZ trick and it didnt work. then i finally realized that i was supposed to use assembly lol.
