Tyrian purple sea salt in the dye vat and adding potash, he was able to successfully dye wool a deep purple colour. Recent research in organic electronics has shown that Tyrian purple is an ambipolar organic semiconductor. Transistors and circuits based on this material can be produced from sublimed thin-films of the dye. The good semiconducting properties of the dye originate from strong intermolecular hydrogen bonding that reinforces pi stacking necessary for transport. True Tyrian purple, like most high-chroma pigments, cannot be accurately rendered on a standard RGB computer monitor. Ancient reports are also not entirely consistent, but these swatches give a
Tyrian (video game) only one weapon, the Atomic Rail Gun. No other weapons are available; however the ship is able to generate many different weapons when the player performs particular sequences of movements and weapon-firing. The "headlight effect" is always turned on in Super Tyrian, which can obscure objects that are not within a 90-degree field of view in front of the player's ship. "Destruct" is a minigame concealed inside "Tyrian", reminiscent of "Scorched Earth", with human-vs-human and human-vs-computer modes of play. It can be played by typing "destruct" at the main menu screen. In the "Zinglon's Ale" mini-game, players must try to
