It's a 56x56 subframe color screen, with enough space left over to put a GPU! Scripts used to generate the demo: https://github.com/krawthekrow/disp56s-demo

    @R33sesk1ng You can increase the resolution, but it's not easy and would make the buffer and decoder bigger as well. As it stands, I believe that this is the best trade-off between resolution and remaining space (for computation and/or memory). As for the buffer on the left, the way it works (see manual) is that you write a single color to the buffer each frame, and only update the screen once the entire frame has been written. You can see this most clearly during scene changes.

    odd... the "screen" at the far left is smoother (displays at more frames per second) than the one to its right...

    I just wanna know if it's possible to use an RGB display screen and make animations in a similar fassion, while fully recognizing that your screen design seems superior, as it stands.

    Is it possible to increase resolution, or is that the limit? I'm glad u made a colored animation; so cool.

    Yeah, subframe contraptions tend to be very fragile. Also, unfortunately, there's a limit to how much data you can put in with stacked FILT -- TPT has a hard cap on the number of particles, equal to the number of pixels in the simulation.

    Another way of chaos is to put any material on the right side of the thing that is on top of the smoother screen
