Lightsabers are the famous weapons of jedi and sith. Cyber crystals are the things that make them work. It is very difficult to aquire cyber crystals. But this is the technology that is used in the galaxy far far away. Here on Earth we don't know such stuff. So we use other technologies to imitate them.
Because we don't know a way to make lightsabers like in movies, we make the blades from plastic and light them up. For this reason the lightsabers we make can't cut anything exept for one technology.
technologies = [
RGB or base-lit,
Neopixel,
Proffie,
Hacksmith's proto-saber ]
You can buy three of the four technologies because the Hacksmith's proto-saber isn't for sale. The prices are diffrent for different technologies and sellers. Not all sellers of lightsabers have roughly the same price for the same lightsaber so if you want to save some money, I would recommend to search the internet if there is a cheaper option.
RGB and base-lit are two names for the same technology. Every lightsaber has a core in it.
core_top = flashlight
The blade = "a hollow plastic tube"
if flashlight == on:
light(bounce_around, tube)
return glowing_blade
This type of lightsaber is most of the times the cheapest and most durable option. Because the blade is just a hollow tube, it's cheap. If you break one you can buy another one cheaply. When most people want to use their sabers for dueling they will likely go with this one because of how cheap new blades are and how durable they are.
Neopixel lightsabers are usually more expensive than base-lit. This is due to the LEDs all across the blade.
blade_inside = LED
if blade_inside == LED:
blade_brightness = 100 # RGB blade_brightness = 20
blade_durability = 20 # RGB blade_durability = 100
price = 100 # RGB price = 50
But of course there are some that you can duel with. The core doesn't have flashlight on top but instead a connector. The connector is also at the bottom of the blade. It is used to tell the LEDs what to do. With this type of technology you can have some amazing animations, fe. when you turn the saber on/off.
Proffie sabers use the same technology like neopixel lightsabers to light up their blade. But proffie board comes with wider range of customizability. You can cutomize various stuff.
technology = neopixel
customization_proffie = costumization_neopixel + 100
This technology enables you to even edit the code, make your own sound fonts and much more. I don't know what to write here anymore, because the difference between neopixel and proffie board is just the customization. If you want to make the most out of the proffie board you shoud have some coding knowledge. With proffie you can customize the animations to the milliseconds.
Hacksmith industries is a YouTube channel where there is a team of people that tries to make whatever idea they have real. They have made for example Thor's hammer, full metal mandalorian armor and much more. They have made a couple of lightsabers but this one is special. It uses high temperature plasma to create the blade. With this blade you can't duel with but you can cut things with it.
realism = 100
temperature = 4000
fuel = [oxygen, propane]
name = "proto-saber"
Proto-saber is an archaic form of lightsabers in the galaxy far far away. It
uses an external power pack to fuel the lightsaber. Hacksmith has used propane and oxygen to power the saber and make a plasma blade. These substances are
stored in pressured tanks which are placed in the power pack. The power pack is in a form of backpack so you wear it on your back.
Reason this saber isn't for sale:
- Too dangerous
- Not ready for mass produce
- Really expensive ($70,000)
