The sad thing about this display is that when finished I don't know how well my pc will handle 42 pc's sitting in loops at the same time.

It won't be the PC's that kill you, it will be the amount of lighting/block updates you'll be passing through to your CPU.

My display was like 400 pixels for musicmaker and it couldn't handle fast updates very well. And my computer not crap ;(

And it is gonna be nowhere near fast updating as I had to add a sleep to the wait loop otherwise dans infinite loop protection steps in before I have time to get all the pcs running :(/>

I kinda stopped working on it,
But it is pixel based so effectively anything you want,
I even had a function for displaying an image that is based in #'s
It uses around 5 different programs.

My good computer, I had one PC sitting in a loop, and it died in 30 secconds, there was like a 'Java.lang=eng cannnot make new thread' blah blah blah on the screen.

I'm pretty sure you don't have that great of a comp then. My computer easily handles a single loop =/ More than likely you found an error in the mod? Dunno.

Wow, I tried something like this with lasermod. Using blue and red laser, to give me a third color purple. But it was too laggy on a large scale 48x22, works great at 8x8, maybe even 16x16. How laggy is it using redpower lamps? I wasn't going to rebuild my laser display with redpower. There's now a monitor for Computercraft, we can give up now :-)

Check out my laser display, the vid make it even more laggy.

You can only place wires on the outside of a block, so that means he placed it on the outside of the block area in which the panel is in.
