Logic Gate Simulator

Heh if it was for my kid how about a modern version of Rocky&#x27;s boots.<p>I learned this stuff around 10 playing that game and didn&#x27;t even realize what I was learning cause it was fun.<p>But it definitely worked.. I aced every class I ever took that required logic right through college with ease. Both hardware courses, CS courses, and a philosophy course.<p>edit:<p>Here it is!<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.myabandonware.com&#x2F;game&#x2F;rockys-boots-cp" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.myabandonware.com&#x2F;game&#x2F;rockys-boots-cp</a><p>I may very well sit my child down in front of this next time he says he&#x27;s bored with the typical kids coding things.

Cycles seem to invoke undefined behavior instead of being outright disallowed.<p>For these sorts of things I tend to go to the circuit simulator[0].<p>Also, for a game that teaches about this stuff while still being incredibly fun, I highly recommend Turing Complete[1].<p>[0] <a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.falstad.com&#x2F;circuit&#x2F;circuitjs.html" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.falstad.com&#x2F;circuit&#x2F;circuitjs.html</a><p>[1] <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;store.steampowered.com&#x2F;app&#x2F;1444480&#x2F;Turing_Complete&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;store.steampowered.com&#x2F;app&#x2F;1444480&#x2F;Turing_Complete&#x2F;</a>

Logism is still a great program although it requires an old Java runtime environment, 1.5.0. Many schools still seem to use it however (development ended in 2014).<p>Perhaps its descendant is Digital?<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;hneemann&#x2F;Digital">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;hneemann&#x2F;Digital</a>

If you&#x27;re into logic gates and deep learning:<p>- <i>Deep Differentiable Logic Gate Networks</i> (<a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;arxiv.org&#x2F;pdf&#x2F;2210.08277.pdf" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;arxiv.org&#x2F;pdf&#x2F;2210.08277.pdf</a>)<p>- Video presentation: <i>Deep Differentiable Logic Gate Networks</i> (<a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.youtube.com&#x2F;watch?v=VulM891DhI4">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.youtube.com&#x2F;watch?v=VulM891DhI4</a>)

This is great, relevant to me as I have been taking nand2tetris[1] which is about building a computer from the ground up. Would reco it to anyone who is curious and wants to learn more.<p>[1]<a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.nand2tetris.org&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.nand2tetris.org&#x2F;</a>

This is clean but I prefer CircuitVerse[0] as using 0&#x2F;1 seems to be a little easier on my brain. Also more options to build complex circuits.<p>[0] <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;circuitverse.org&#x2F;simulator" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;circuitverse.org&#x2F;simulator</a>

There&#x27;s also <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.khloch.de&#x2F;en&#x2F;locad-fuer-mac&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.khloch.de&#x2F;en&#x2F;locad-fuer-mac&#x2F;</a> We used the MSDOS version in highschool. What a fun semester!

Check out Sebastian Lague’s Digital Logic Sim too. Comes with some of my favourite videos!<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;sebastian.itch.io&#x2F;digital-logic-sim" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;sebastian.itch.io&#x2F;digital-logic-sim</a>

Fairly primitive.<p>Missing 3,4,..N input gates, XNOR.<p>The next level would need sequential logic (FF&#x27;s) and friends likes muxes.<p>After that, crossbars and tri-state buffers.<p>Get fancy with buffers, clocks, and visualizing propagation delay, setup and hold times.

I learned using Multimedia Logic.<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.softronix.com&#x2F;mmlogic-downloads&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.softronix.com&#x2F;mmlogic-downloads&#x2F;</a>

The XOR node behaves differently when partially connected than other nodes. XOR seems to only work when both inputs are connected. Other gates like NOT output power if the input is missing OR off.
