just wondering, but could one do the april fools thing with something like this?

it'd be a bitch making the rendering, but you probably could, no?
what april fools thing?

the blockland forums ingame browser-on-a-brick thing

You mean make a picture of the forums out of these?
Like on a gigantic 640x360 screen or something? lol

Can you make one the size of a 1x1 brick? I don't like flat sides.

Electrk you know. Whatever happens between you and Plexious, I must tell you.

I will always love you.

You wouldn't even be able to look at a 640x360 screen without your FPS instantly dropping to under 5.

Can they be transparent? If so i love you.

yes but it's glitchy



I will probably lock this topic when Jasa's pixel events come out.

Oh good. Now I can make good church windows.

Maybe you could make "channels" and like standard screen bricks, like 10x10 then make more events an output that switches the channel.
And you'd need to get an SA's permission to make a channel.

You could easily do more if you implemented some bitwise events such as the AND, OR, XOR, SHL, SHR, ROTL, and ROTL if they're not already in there. After you have those tools you could just alter the pixels with bitmasks which would allow for much easier usage. I'm pretty sure torque's integers are 32 bits (with the sign though that wouldnt matter you'd be using hex anyway for this) so you could represent each pixel as a single integer with its bytes being RGBA[alpha] respectively. After that you only need to do use an array index into the pixel grid and then use bitwise operators to modify the values (it would greatly simplify the gui and be much more powerful). This might be a bit complex for some people, but I thought that I might as well throw it out there.
Comic Sans :D

Oh God. I can't believe someone actually managed this.

Excellent. 5/5.

That seems as a very bad idea. These bricks are very resource hungry. Just use normal bricks instead.

i have no idea how to use this.
it wont react to anything WHY
