I'm glad you liked it :) . That's a good idea for the colors, I'll put it in, thanks! You're also right about the trailer, I'll put it there.

That looks super cool.
I started to build a game around my wired-logic proof of concept (https://github.com/martinkirsche/wired-logic) but never had time to finish it (the ideas are still developing in my head, tho).
However I am very happy to see that publishing it, was not for nothing.

Build instructions are a bit sparse.

You're right, I'll put better instructions this week. In the message you sent it seems to be a git submodule initialization thing.

Cool! :) I opened an issue on github about it, I'd do a pull request, but I didn't manage to make it build yet :) Super cool project, looking forward got playing with it :)

I don't know if you have given it a try, but check out industrial tools like Cadence Virtuoso and Innovus. by letting people design their own standard cells, you can let your players go deeper down the rabbit hole.

That looks cool, I'll take a look thanks! I've been studying how to implement blueprints+layers, that might give some good clues indeed, thanks!

Oh wow. Awesome. I had an idea for similar game for system design but got bogged down trying to learn game dev. This is so cool

I think let’s-all-be-stupid-forever should cut themselves a bit of slack - this is pretty cool.

This may be a great complement to the first half of the nand2tetris course.

Does it have a maximum fan-out of the gates, like real gates do?
rafinha
I haven't thought of that. It might be cool to add something like that for some extra puzzle/optimisation element. I guess it might be useful for netlist export? thanks

Very cool!
I tried the demo and I liked it!
I would prefer if I could pick a color in a faster way than switching to the color picker or using the palette: maybe middle click or Ctrl + left-click (gimp does that). It would reduce the mouse travel quite a bit; sometimes I happen to have the exact color I want next to my cursor.
I would also suggest putting the trailer on Steam. All I see is images in the steam carousel thing; I think the trailer being in the carousel would help.
