This is a new version that utilizes very similar technology as my first video. The decoding logic has been moved into the display, thus removing the need for WIFI, which in turn allows extreme resolutions. Enjoy!

    @drakide ''with cores like these, who needs a screen?'' but seriously, if there is an update somehow increasing the resolution, or an electronics update reducing the required size of components, and with some killer tetris skills, you could do it as long as you somehow made the screen smaller... possibly by combining benthecrazy's photon method with your filt input?

    @sentinal-5: I have plans for a superscalar computer which manages to process about 28-bit wide data-words every 2 frames. This is pretty much TPT's absolute limit, as faster operations aren't "well defined", i.e. their behavior is random. So the only way I could think of to get faster is to use multiple cores... but when the screen is full of cores, where's the screen?

    or 100 of them providing 1 every 2 frames... what i mean is that as tpt gets more and more usefull elements and enginuitive uses of them.... more processing will be possible until the computers in tpt are almost 1/3 as powerfull as the computers running them.... besides... there are always mods...

    @drakide in future updates we may have the capability to make small enough electronics that a 'graphics card' becomes feesable.... with 50 single perpose computers providing one FILT/frame each....

    @sentinal-5: I am always working on computers in TPT :P. The problem is that this screen needs 50 FILT / frame which I doubt any computer will ever be able to provide in realtime.
