60 Hz configurations by Schmolendevice
A compilation of SCHM approved subframe solid spark conductor (PSCN, NSCN, METL, INWR and INST) configurations for providing power to one or more adjacent active elements (ARAY, CRAY and DRAY).

Method 1: If DRAY is below the active element, at DRAY's exact point in the "program," the conductor it copies up must be of life 4, that is, being "newly sparked" or "reset this frame." It doesn't matter if CONV does its thing before or after BTRY during the frame, as long as spatially and temporally, BTRY took effect on the conductor before DRAY copied it. -
Schmolendevice 16th Aug 2016Think of the TPT screen as a program read from left to right where each pixel is an instruction and can change other parts of that "code" by sparking, creating or destroying. For an active element to activate, it must be true that _at its part of the program_, a conductor with life 3 is adjacent to it. All conductors start with life 4 and become "ready" in the next frame.

Schmolendevice 16th Aug 2016This explains some theory: https://powdertoy.co.uk/Discussions/Thread/View.html?Thread=19943. DRAY is basically used to achieve those requirements for an active element being "activated" by a conductor when the space is too tight to continuously reset the conductor locally. So to mediate this, we copy a "ready" conductor from elsewhere.

Schmolendevice 16th Aug 2016I've added that. To make the DRAY apparatus shoot down, or down-right, you would need to use another DRAY apparatus to supply the "ready" conductor for the downwards propagating DRAY.

Can you make another schematic but with the DRAY apparatus directly above the sparked PSCN being produced? If it's possible, that is. I still don't quite understand how the DRAY method works.
