Awesome! have a gif of a working calculator? Reminds me of the way that people would build digital electronics in the 'powder-toy' genre of games. Was that an inspiration for this project?

Looks similar to Wireworld[1], although the rules are different

Yeah, this was indeed inspired by Wireworld and its frustrating timing constraints.
why did you choose the number 6 for maxCharge?
The larger the number the slower the simulation will run. But a numer that is too low will force you to include repeaters everywhere. So 6 seamed to be reasonable.
