I've personally sifted through the simulation code for easy to harness randomness, but missed the BMTL-PHOT interaction. @nosomebodies found it, I just made a smaller and probably more stable randomiser. I linked the original save too, check it out.

    Welps, this stayed on FP for almost a whole week. I'm glad to see that subframe stuff is well liked.

    That is correct.

    as far as I see, yes.

    @LBPHacker Let me guess, subframe suspension?

    Will do, m8

    @R33sesK1ng: I guess I am, bump me on irc or on discord (see bio). @DUC: Yeah nosomebodies summed it up well, basically I just duplicate a photon that already has velocity (and also life=0 so it doesn't disappear) but I don't let the photon itself update, only its clones. How I do *that* is... too much for a comment here.

    If uses a down-directed PHOT ( the one red pixel to the left), prevents it from moving by DRAYing it around so it never updates, and uses exponential layered DRAY to replace the gravitons with down-directed photons in the beginning of the frame.

    @LBPHacker How does the randomizer give the PHOT the velocity required to react with BMTL?

    Oof im not good enough to make something like this. I can't even make a functional subframe randomiser (i've tried). @LBPHacker, Are you good at helping ppl, cos I wanna finish making an ALU 'n' it's kinda /hard/.

    And of course more set bits in the 8 least significant places means a bluer colour. In the rightmost column all 8 LSB are set, hence the bluish colours (it depends on the other bits too though), and in the leftmost column all 8 LSB are clear, hence the yellowish colours (which once again depend on the other bits too). That's just how FILT renders its ctype, and as a consequence that's the colour BRCK retains.
