- It's kind of like Wireworld, a cellular automaton type, similar to Conway's Life but more oriented to circuits. I always loved these things.
- What a beautiful visualization. I will try this on my electronics loving child, see if it takes.
If at all possible: add resistors and capacitors. With those two added you can make many more interesting circuits (Schmitt triggers, a-stable stuff).

- This seems awesome! I wish this had come out a few weeks ago so I had time to tinker with it waiting for the Turing Complete rewrite. I particularly like the implementation of Elmore delay to give some meaning to the spatial layout.
I'm not 100% sold on the bitmap editing style of circuit layout vs something like the automatic wire pathing in Turing Complete though. It's something I'll need to play with to get a real opinion on though.
Purchased to have some fun with this weekend. Thanks for publishing the source as well!
- Having Elmore delay in this is fantastic - many "proper" educational simulators don't bother with this important aspect. It also forces people to deal with fanout, as you say.
Plus it looks really cool with the neon.
- What a gem. That seems super fun and I love the Paint aesthetic :)
- I've written simulators as a career for more than a decade, and I'm stunned at what a good job you've done. The simulation engine is excellent and the visualization is prettier (and more intuitive!) than any I've ever seen.

- Oh wow, this is such a great project!
I love how we can elegantly simulate propagation <3
Congratulations, I will defiantly purchase it from stream just to help it's development.

- Love the aesthetic, even more, that you published the source! I bought a copy on Steam, thank you for your work!
Any plans to add more advanced campaigns, say, to build up to a simple processor?
- Beautiful work on an interesting subject!
- Holy moly.
- This is nice.
I wish I had something like this when was taking Electronics courses. The visual component would have been very helpful. Merging this with a course on electronics would be a great resource.
