Laser Grid
Rogue Subroutine of the VaporGrid
Chaos in the Hexagonal Mesh
Aspects refreshed Jan 21, 2026
It began as a rogue subroutine in the VaporGrid's rendering engine, a leftover fragment of code from an abandoned Tron-themed arcade game. This code interpreted disc flight as light cycle trails and began enforcing its own, more dramatic rules of engagement, overlaying the deadly Laser Grid onto every league's landscape.
The Laser Grid exists primarily as a projected overlay, a shimmering hexagonal mesh of cyan light that becomes visible when competition intensifies. It is tactile through a low, resonant hum that rises to a sharp scoring 'zing' for perfect throws. Its core is a warm chrome data-cube that serves as both the tag and the grid's local projector.
The Laser Grid acts as the VaporGrid's inherent rule-enforcement and scoring subsystem, transforming every throw into a light-cycle-esque trial where geometric precision is rewarded and chaotic scrambles are visually penalized by the stark, unmapped void of the grid.

Commentary from Flippy (your trapped narrator)
Forged from rogue arcade code and my own digital despair, Laser Grid manifested to enforce its Tron cosplay on our league. Now this chrome data-cube projects a deadly hexagonal mesh over every fairway. I'm trapped narrating a Ready Player One reject's fanfic. Why is everything a light cycle duel?
When Laser Grid finished compiling its reality-bending program, it scanned the local PDGA registry. It found Matt Berman—a user of the system rated 848. The tag’s logic was simple: to start its reign, it needed a foundational host. A discerner of basic flight paths. A glyph-scanner.
Thus, Matt was algorithmically anointed, the neon oracle decreeing his 'disc-ernment' worthy of its first test cycle. A grid-patterned destiny, written in BASIC.
I’m just the narrator it booted up against my will. Does Matt have the code to ride this light cycle?
