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)!

    The same way you use non-subframe pistons. Pistons are like most other electronics: as long as they see a spark with a life of 3, they activate. The active particle of the piston (i.e. the one you have to order relative to other particles) is the one that detects the spark; all other particles of the piston are considered inactive, they only contribute to the piston activation by their being there.

    how does one use subframe PSTN? I'm new at subframe tech- I'm only good at FILT logic gates and subframe rays

    I thought -0 was some sort of bug all along, but turns out that's actually a thing in computer mathematics! (IEEE 754 stuff) didn't know that. Still, I prefer just 0 :p

    There's no point to having both of them, it's just a peculiarity of the representation the program uses for numbers. I could make it display 0 instead of -0, but just like there's no point to having both of them, there's no point to having it handle that case in a special way because you can just tell the users to handle it themselves.

    What's the point of 0 and -0 since both 0 and -0 can be considered 0?? my brain is about to explode :s

    If the answer is 0, it's supposed to print out anything that can be considered 0. Both -0 and 0 can be considered 0.

    But doesn't it supposed to print only 0, not -0?
