The optical properties of C-5 are arguably some of the least known behaviours in TPT. It's not a bug. I found the code for it. Go ahead, play around with it - it's awesome!

  Dont create NaN pressure! -_-

  It's not a bug, it's a feature!

  @Jacob1: Any possibility we could avoid that? I've got another two whole saves depending on it :-/. Spent hours deco'ing one of them.

  The NaN pressure thing in the corner will stop working

  By the way, this save is showing off some behavior that is buggy. Right now, when you have two photons hit C-5 going in oppossite velocities, they add to 0, which causes some division by 0, and undefined behavior. Sometimes it just sets the velocity to 0, other times it creates inf velocity/nan pressure, in debug builds it creates a shockwave that deletes every particle in the simulation. The next version of TPT, i'm changing it to send the photon at a 90 degree angle instead.

  @agent420 in a square, spark top-right button, then spark bottom button. After that, spark green button. It will create a singe photon, going to left.

  it doesn't work for me!

  CaptainFearless: it did vector addition! Do you see the two small green boxes? Those are the ones you have selected. Select two of them, then hit the big green button. It will create two photons, and their velocities will combine using vector addition.

  shoots a few photons in 1 direction, thats it
