Source code

General Behaviour Very short-lived element, persists ~2 to 5 frames. Upon generation a "bolt" of LIGH will extend from its origin, with a random angle, directed towards simulation gravity. Dissipating, it leaves a "thunderclap" pressure wake.

• Generates an extreme amount of heat and pressure on encountering an element.
• Generated by SPRKd TESC

Brush Behaviour Length, temperature, pressure and spawn cooldown depend on brush size, greater brush sizes greaten these values.

Reactions

• + →

• Any conductor + → d conductor

Advanced! Variables

• LIGH's life is its power, greater values generate more powerful reactions, & longer segments.
• LIGH's tmp is its angle, measured in degrees, counterclockwise from the +x direction (the right).

LIGH's tmp2 contains various information about the pixel, relative to the rest of the bolt. A tmp2 of:

• 0-1 means it's bending
• 2-3 means it's branching
• 4 means it's the first pixel
• 5-8 means it's a normal part of the segment, this number counts down, & the pixel is removed at 5.
