Rube Goldberg Code

yeah... but the one on the left looks more impressive to the boss.
 
Bosses are impressed with highly complicated looking code.. 😮

That reminds me of a story I read once about how they told developers at Apple to document the lines of code they wrote each week to measure their productivity. Naturally, the developers didn't like this, so when one of them optimized a specific module and made the code much simpler, he happily wrote "-2000 lines". Smiley Very Happy

Suggested to change shift registers and use an array to simplify code..

Given the amount of empty whitespace in that for loop, I don't know if I'd call that "miniature"

I have just noticed that a dot is shown for most of the wire junctions (Show dots at wire junctions property seems to be checked) but not for all. How is this possible ? A display bug ?

Maybe the picture was edited in MS Paint or some such editor, and the dots were forgotten.

No, i don't think that the dots were removed externally.... i think more about something like this:




You can see that the wires are very close to each other, moving the wires one pixel closer would create the dot. But sometimes, it does not show up. So the "dot" would be located in the indexing tunnel then....
Btw, this sometimes happens when using the  "clean up wires"-function.....

I would go with the Paint answer as well. If you look in the original thread, you can see that the piece of code on the bottom doesn't exist, so it was added separately (you can see it doesn't even line up) and since the VI wasn't supplied, image editing is the logical conclusion.

Additionally, if you do what Norbert did, the one pixel shift is clear and in that image it's not visible.

Could two overlapping tunnels could look like this.
