New element: LED

    Ok, im here to make the ultimate suggeston for an elemenet to make EASY COLORED displays. 

    My initial idea was to make a LED based on coordinates, just like lines crossing each other (as what happens to aray). But even this wouldnt be fast anought to make animations. So i found the solution. We need a wifi-LED system. The idea is to make it possible for one pixel to become RED, BLUE, GREEN, YELLOW, CYAN, MAGENTA, WHITE.

     

    How it works: 

     

    Elements we need: rWIF, gWIFI and bWIF. These elements are wifi types, that have no connection to each other, but can make a link to LED, depending on their temp. these (color)WIF also can be used just like wifi, receiving energy from PSCN, METL, INST and discharging on NSCN but the diff is that they can also discharge on LED. 

     

    How it logicaly works (more for developers):

     

    Color pallet:

    0 = black/dark grey

    1 = red

    2 = blue

    4 = green

    3 (red+blue) = magenta

    5 (red+green) = yellow

    6 (blue+green) = cyan

    7 (red+blue+green) = white

     

    If PSCN, METL or INST transmit energy to rWIF, every LED linked to it will be charged with 1, and become RED, if it has charge 0. Else, the initial charge of LED will be add by 1 and become the color of the color pallet. 

     

    This is the logic of this element. 

    To turn it off, we need a NSCN touching it, and eletrified.

     

    How it would be like:

    Lol, this is just a more complex LCRY than the one we alearedy have.

     ok try to make an animation using LCRY using wifi. no need to be colored, for real.

    Would something like these work?:


    That's how people always used to do it before deco and LCRY, and it works almost exactly how you described (it just taks four pixels instead of 1 ). Adding 3 elements that have one small use for a specific element probably won't happen.

    Lol LCRY For The Win. Why this when we have the all so versatile LCRY?

     The WIF can work like wifi, and look at the size of these pixels... if you want to make something USING THIS, its impossible. I think something that could save space to make smaller pixels would be nice. And i dont think its really hard to do. Its just a better LCRY. Today, we need arround 16x16 pixels to make one colored dot. Besides, you have to use ALL wifi channels and prto prti you have to do this, and a LOT of work. With LED we could make smaller pixels, use less cpu, make a smaller display or an "HD" one and let wifi chanels free for computer engines. Remeber we will have 3 more wifi chanels for every use. 

    For me its just perfect.

    4 elements needed just to improve one that works just fine?

    I believe it is possible to make the pixels in those three saves brighter, due to making the pixels 1 pixel taller.

     

    In my creatyion, shown by @Jacob1, that is just a different way to make it function.

    Not really the best idea. It takes 3 elements which are all copies of one element, and uses them for another element which is mostly new.
