For example, if you've laid out builders to create a set of spiral stairs and the offsets are from 0 to 11, you'll want to use periodicity 12. A good way to program a set of builders is to build a complete example of the structure you want them to create, then place builders against the structure and have them "read" all of its facings. This also lets you more easily visualize the tricks that might be needed to allow the digtron to pass through the structure as it's being built. \ No newline at end of file -- cgit v1.2.3
