Xray are you a hacker just asking

I've done some hacking back in the "old days" when hackers would cheat the phone companies. But now I behave myself.

@Xray is that true?

@Xray People still do that, btw.

Yup, I built a "blue box" which gave me free long distance calls. I did it only for a short time because I was too afraid of getting arrested. Some stupid hackers did get arrested back then.

By the way, Steve Jobs and Steve Wozniak built and sold blue boxes many years before they started Apple Computers. That was the same timeframe when I built mine from plans that Wozniak published.

I prefer less code:
maxRays = {sim.time % 1 > 0.5 ? 0 : 1000}

A more general approach using Kilinich's method:

_period = 1.0;
_dutyCycle = 0.5;

maxRays = {sim.time % _period > _dutyCycle * _period ? 0 : 1000}

Thanks to kilinich and s_noonan for the shorter code suggestions. I already knew how to use both of those methods, but my only excuse for the less efficient code that I used was due to the fact that I was very tired and sleepy when I made this scene. I just wanted to get it done and go to bed!
