Re: Faster 2c/3 Wires
Just wondering, does anyone have a bi-block factory? x = 84, y = 77, rule = EV2QuadColor There is a fairly common way for a biblock to form, which would work in this context. I think there's some hope for a direct factory that works here and can be triggered by a single Herschel or another versatil...

Re: Sparker Compilation (up to p16)
I don't personally see the problem including one sparker several times, as long as you are highlighting different sparks. These sparks are otherwise not obvious, but they are sometimes essential. For example, here is a traffic light hassler that uses one of the unconventional domino sparks where th...

Re: Sparker Compilation (up to p16)
Great work! Three issues that I see: The last sparker in the p7 delayed domino row is actually p8. Karel's p15 can also act as a delayed domino sparker as can be seen in this recent p60 gun by iNoMed . Pentadecathlon provides some unconventional domino sparks that are sometimes, albeit rarely, used...
