@atomic2385 "Demarcations" are among the official demarcation designations of my neglected MS Word subframe documentation. :)
-
'demarcates' I have never imagined a day when I would see that word used... +1 just for your fantastic vocab.
-
@Draco712/Mark2222: Ok, it was just a thought I had, but now you've explained it, that makes sense. You two just gave me a new idea, but I want to do some tinkering before I ask anyone else to waste their time on it.
-
motaywo and mark2222: yep, and that sub-subframe device is very limited for such use. p.s. mark2222: I recently joined the subframe IRC channel ^^ tho I don't get on time with channel activity :p UTC+8 here
-
@motaywo No, that can't be applied here. That allows the same particle to be updated twice by basically DRAYing it so it gets another ID, and then DRAYing it back. No matter what you do here, the pmap/photons array won't be reloaded, which means that any particle that isn't in pmap/photons won't go into pmap/photons in the same frame (unless through a particle update of its own).
-
"Do not reload particle order or swap out rom unless this is lit". I'd say this is lit.
-
I love what you've done with this tech, and can't wait to see where it goes from here. - @Draco712: I agree with mark2222 that instantaneous address-seeking is currently impossible, but there might be a few work-arounds. If I remember correctly you created a device a while back that updated twice in one frame - could that be applied here?

@TheNik It's on freenode! :D There's a general tpt community channel too (#powder). If you're new to IRC, there's a wiki page for it: https://powdertoy.co.uk/Wiki/W/Irc_setup.html

What network is the IRC channel on? I've looked at a few of the subframe tutorial posts and I understand the concept, but I never managed to bring it all together. It would be nice to get some pointers this way.

@ivel236 Cool that we converged on similar ideas :D. My hack for the rotation problem is really very stupid, it doesn't solve it at all. It just leaves the stack rotated, but patches over it by remembering the first ctype in the stack, then, when the stack completes, it pauses the entire operation by one frame and outputs that first ctype.
