New PHOT Idea

    It wouldn't actually be hard to implement IR and UV rays, since we have several unused bands of light in the memory for photons. I guess having invisible particles floating around isn't as awesome as it sounds :P

    Who says they've got to be invisible? As far as I'm concerned, Oxygen is colorless but it appears light blue in-game.

    As far as I'm concerned, I think that they should do something other than be new photons.
    Such as detonate nuclear/flammable/explosive elements, cancel out spark, or maybe even have them flash different colors based on Newtonian Gravity (I.E., GRAV for Newt. Gravity)
    As for uses for these:
    A radio signal that does not require WIFI, wires, PRTI/O, PLSM, FIRE, or anything else in any other way (Combining Gravity pump with PCLN to create a pulse)
    A remote shut down switch. You can also reverse the effects for PSCN/NSCN. Where an incoming spark will cancel on NSCN, and a wave will generate a spark on PSCN. Useful for randomization and remote shut-offs in a unique way.
    A new way to create those rainbow swirlies you love so much, Cate.
    @_@

    TL;DR: There are uses for this that I (believe) are feasible and useful.

    Well in the recent update, pipe seems to do the job pretty well, for example

    Isn't tpt C++ coded from the begining .___.

    Nah, it's in C. Porting it to C++ will make TPT more powerful and capable (and likely modifiable.)

    I hope they make it in c++ one time but I can also live with c code also would make it a lot of work to recode it.
