Anyone who likes this should also take a look at: https://store.steampowered.com/app/1444480/Turing_Complete/ At the end you have your own CPU with your own assembly language. Sadly stuck in early access since forever with some very rough edges

I can also thoroughly recommend https://store.steampowered.com/app/684270/Silicon_Zeroes/ which uses smart design to remove having to deal with binary in the circuit design. This reduces complexity by a surprising amount.

Love this game. Does anyone know if developers are still active?

Steam discussions seem to imply there is still something happening https://steamcommunity.com/app/1444480/discussions/0/7674379... But communication is definitely subpar. I completed it a few years ago, was fun but having prior knowledge about digital circuits is a must have in my opinion.

They're bikeshedding pretty hard, making their own language for the simulation. You can access the unstable branch through steam, it was getting fairly regular updates last I checked.

[scratchyone]

is there anything interesting in the unstable branch??

also lmfao bikeshedding a custom language is EXACTLY what i would expect from the dev of that kinda nerd game. feels like a good sign tbh

[whattheheckheck]

I think its called yakshaving when you actually do it. Bikeshedding is discussing stuff that doesn't matter to avoid tlaking about the hard stuff

[ben-schaaf]

Last I checked there's some rebalancing that looks pretty good, but the real advantage from the custom language is a huge performance boost.

wow - will try it today!
