Lately, I have been developing a computer. It is supposed to be able to crack any problem in seconds. I just finished the ALU and the CPU. I am currently working on the 10 clocks that it needs. The clocks must fire at a pace of 1 spark every frame. I don't want to use subframe because it is very advanced and I want players to just walk in and see how everything works, not stare at a bunch of numbers. So how do I make the clock?

Also, recently I have also been developing a display board. Does anyone know how to use flit ctype in machines? Because lately, I have been looking at animation saves on TPT and they use a long line of FILT and a "scanner" kind of reads it and destroys it. Does anyone know how that works?

Thanks a lot, LBPHacker. I will try to decrease the SPRK clock. It will lower the computer's speed but it seems impossible through non-subframe means. Also, I thought FILT-ARAY type wires would work. I will also check out the wiki link about FLIT ctypes. Thanks.

Edit: Just checked the wiki link and the wiki was not exactly clear. I just learned that FILT's tmp can be used to change its mode. I still don't understand the way the "scanner" works and how they extract data from lines of FLIT. Also, the computer has been downgraded to one spark every 8 frames. It is a pretty good pace but the computer is having a hard time cooperating with the new changes.

LBPHacker:

Yes, FILT can "conduct" BRAY with no cooldown, but you still have to emit the BRAY somehow, and although ARAY once again can emit BRAY without cooldown, you can only get it to emit BRAY every frame by resetting the conductor that activates it to a life=3 SPRK every frame. That requires the particles to act in a specific sequence and that's basically subframe territory.

Not trying to make my computer too advanced but what if we used a PSTN to put a new conductor into place after the old one. Then when the old conductor finishes its cooldown, the PSTN will push it back to place. Is that a bad idea?

Edit: I have a new problem. Upon downgrading the clocks, the computer now has time to update its wires. But constant sparking made pieces of METL, which are used to convert NSCN sparks to PSCN sparks, melt. What is the best coolant for a computer? Or should I replace the METL with something like TTAN? Also to make matters worse, the one required piece of METL, used to make a AND gate, is right next to a device that uses PHOT. The DMND surrounding the PHOT machine is not thick and PHOT would sometimes pop out and melt the METL.

LBPHacker:

EDIT: Constant sparking should definitely *not* melt METL. Sparking heats METL up to around ~390C, and METL melts at 1000C.

The PHOT will melt the METL. The sparking will heat it to the point where a quick burst of PHOT will finish it off.

Edit: Good News! I think I just solved another problem of the wire speed. I was looking at the wiki for CRAY when Bang! It hit me. CRAY can basically teleport SPRK. So if I use it to teleport the SPRK over long distances to its target, it is instant wire. Oh, wait there is an element called INST. =(

The PHOT is over 9000C because I use GOL to heat it. The PHOT was meant to basically go through a prism and temp affects it.

I technically didn't figure anything out. I found the element INST. So, it defies the need for CRAY-SPRK teleportation.
