    Hi guys :) This thread is kinda serious...

    At the moment i'm making a 0-9 numbers, 10 slot save data device that involves, quite obviously, alot of WIFI. I saw a few saves that are very good/realistic/awesome that use no wifi at all, or if it does only a few. Then that gave me time to think...is WIFI cheating?

    I know that WIFI is real, but it doesnt use 1x1 millimeter bits with millions of different channels. Please leave a comment only if you know what your talking about... :)

    Of course it is not. No one can say that WIFI is cheating on the grounds that it is an unrealistic simplification simply because ALL TPT electronic elements are unrealistic simplifications.

    powder toy is not supposed to be entirely realistic. I always use WIFI for electronics. I guess the "computer(no wifi!:D)" title of the 4-bit computer by mark2222 made you think WIFI is cheating. Well its not, and it makes saves alot less laggy, and btw how are you going to store the numbers? You will use binary won't you? It means you can store data in smaller spaces.

    @Minishooz I dont quite understand binary yet, but it doesnt just use 0s and 1s, it saves numbers into 10 slots and uses the numbers 0-9. BTW Now I know :) I'll probably lock this.

    You do realize that if you want to get banned, you can just convo a moderator right? You do not need to go through the hassle of creating a verisimilitude of idiocy and initiating a capricious farce in order to receive a ban.

    Moderators lock threads.
    WiFi is not cheating, though sometimes old-style wiring is admired.
