This is a WIP version of TPT in TPT. It barely has physics at this point in time, but it's *something*, so I decided to see what you guys think of it. If you have a critique, put it in the comments. (Please, no 'sAvE bAd', this is in active development)

    R33sesK1ng: It's about half and half. It technically does compute very basic physics (which just is 'move every particle down 1 pixel every frame'), but that's it. The most recent version in the Github repo I linked is planned to have much more complete physics, but it runs much slower because of it.

    R33sesK1ng: yes it is calculating the pixels by the looks of it

    @R33sesK1ng Watch the filt in memory to see if it changes as the particles fall.

    guys can anyone confirm if this actually abides by real physics or if it's an animation?

    JozeffTech: I tried making my own CPU before, and it took me 4 months to get even basic functionality working. There is 0 chance of me A: Making a CPU B: Making a CPU tha'ts faster than this one C: Making an assembler for it (because there is no chance of me making TPT in TPT using pure machine code)

    (cont.) Unless you mean calculate it all in parallel? The only way I can think of for that to be possible is if they all shared the same memory, and I'm not sure if that's possible without 3-4 frames of delay between them, and that's not good for a parallel system.

    JozeffTech: I just realized what you meant by `combine four of Rs to make them calculate in a gatling gun fashion`, but I don't see how that would increase speed, as most of the time is taken up churning through every single particle and doing calcuations on said particles. (cont.)
