Local Horror!!

Discussed here

The locals span 3 screens down!  The code is incomprehensible..

Did you notice that he even connects a local variable to its own terminal near the top left?

Curiously, none are needed. Here's equivalent code, replacing the entire inner code on the left.... 😄

I had to clean my glasses after glancing at the block diagram..    😮

That's for when you want to be *really* sure that you have set the right value properly. You know, for nuclear reactors and such.

Arrays? I don't need no stinking arrays.

Ooh, look at this I can make a cluster.

I need to do stuff with the data! I'll change it to an array!

I like the comments.  I usually use Free Labels, but String constants are pretty sweet.

At a glance what you posted is only about 10% of the entire block diagram. What a fracking nightmare.

• Usually, we see it the other way around. "Array...array to cluster...unbundle"
• I like that purple spider web on the left.
• I have the feeling that the time formatting in the upper right could be done with a single primitive and a slightly more complicated time format statement. 😄
