BRAY: What can it do? (In electronics)
-
I start browsing some electronic saves, and most of them use ARAY/BRAY in some way or other. People have made displays, GPUs, CPUs, memory cards and copiers which use BRAY. My question is: If all BRAY can do is SPRK other metals and create solid points, how can it be so useful? I've seen GPUs where there is a large matrix of INWR and FILT and somehow, it works. So:
How can the way BRAY interacts with INWR and FILT be made useful?
Thanks in advance!

I made a fairly simple BRAY electronicy thing here:
1322203View Save 1322203Basically, the way it works is that it fires a line of red BRAY (the short-life BRAY that's made from ARAY sparked by PSCN) at one line of the matrix of INWR, and since INWR is transparent to BRAY (i.e. it goes through), you get a nice pattern of holes and dots: the INWR pixels will let BRAY lines through, but the red BRAY won't. Then, I shoot a wall of white BRAY at this new pattern, so the BRAY only passes through the points that had INWR in them.
Since this white BRAY can spark conductors, I take the output (using heaps of WIFI) and reconstruct the pattern in the box to the right. In the fourth frame of a cycle, the machine shoots red BRAY at the wall of white BRAY to clear it out and prevent it from making points.
I recommend using "F" to cycle through the operations frame-by-frame. The master of this kind of tech is probably @arK, his/her saver are ridiculously good.

Filt just changes the colour of the white BRAY.
BRAY can pass through INWR.
Red BRAY clears white BRAY.1172216View Save 1172216
That's my ARAY copier.
I'll explain how it works:
Something is drawn with INWR on the top box.
Then BRAY is fired at it. At the same time two rays of BRAY is fired perpendicular to it on the top and bottom box. This BRAY collides with all the BRAY, blocking them except the ones which passed through INWR which is blocked by the BRAY in the bottom box, soldifying it. This is repeated for every pixel in the top box.
The red BRAY is just for clearing the unwanted BRAY to speed up the process.
You can open the save and view it fram by frame (use f) in nothing display to see what I mean.
If you didn't understand, don't worry, you'll get it eventually. -
There was a great 8-bit processor by Synergy... He used BRAY RAM and INWR ROM:

Prefix the save ID with a tilde(~) sign.

So it will be like that.1272963View Save 1272963Edited once by greymatter. Last: 23rd Apr 2014 -

You can use PROP tool to change temp of WIFI really fast. It still takes time, but it is much faster than using HEAT.Edited once by greymatter. Last: 24th Apr 2014
