    #IChallengeU to design an standalone TPT electronic board designer totally written in LUA! Just to ease it with newbies at electronic drawings, outsider geeks or just too lazy people like me! In 48 hours! TPT forums hashtag #IChallengeU the LUA and TPT-related equivalente of Ludum Dare!

    I might try this, but electronics in TPT can't really be easily generated.
    Also #IChallengeU not to end every sentence with an exclamation point.

    Right now I've did even made an concept art showing what one would look like (though, yeah, it's design looks more like scrapped from the Windows NT 1998, or maybe from the Incredible Machine, amazingly old game from the final 1980s (start of the 1990s?)!

    Hey! It's the designing!

    It's easier to make electronics by hand than it is to write that...

    I know, but once it is written, it will be easier to actually USE the generator to make electronics easily than by hand!

    I'm movimented for one thing that occured with me:

    Once a day, I was making an special gate that sent a output pulse every 3 input pulses, but then I accidentally had to scrap the idea because I just acidentally swope my hand and the screen turned into an mess of PTCT! (lol) So yeah.. would help! (lmfao) btw if it is too hard, why doesn't you give it to someone bette in Lua writting? Or maybe... with the colaborating help of someone else? Also it is gonna be a Lua executable so don't forget to use the DLLs needed like msvcp! lol

    There's no such thing as a "Lua executable".

    Oh also good luck finding a decent Lua graphics library. Just use TPT's graphics functions...

    Yeah boboys now simply don't do in Lua or in executable. Make like a window in TPT or like an executable in CPP that exports stamps!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    That's even harder than making one in Lua.

    Can it be a custom lua element that when placed on the screen it will put the pscn and other components in a relative position of it?

     

     

    I made this: http://pastebin.com/FudyvAEB

    The tmp set the directions of the input side:

         1

       0X2

         3
