Request: ARAY tmp -> BRAY lifetime

    Nice idea, but there are three types of BRAY (simple, red, stable), I think it would be better if we could control lifetime of any of them (at least for simple and red, for stable it's not that necessary).

    My suggestion: simple = (tmp & 0xFF), red = (tmp >> 8), stable = tmp2

     

    Lifetime for simple and red BRAY is set by this formula: tmp = red * 256 + simp (both in range 1-255), and for stable BRAY it is: tmp2 = stable (1-65535). Zero is reserved and defaults to regular lifetime.

     

    Pretty straightforward, at least for those who interested :D

     Very good idea! I've created a calculator that actually calculates with solid BRAY patterns and stores data with solid BRAY so I have to use a lot of brown BRAY and refresh BRAY's life in the memory. I wonder if there is a lua comman like tpt.el.whatever to set solid BRAY's life to 0 when created.

    Careful that was a bit of a necro.

    It does look like quite a good idea, Aray is a major part in alot of Micro-electronics and this request can only make them smaller and faster!

     Yes it does seem like a good idea... 

    I wonder why this hasnt been implemented yet
