Under rating threshold (hideshow)
Quite fascinating, although not accessible to those without an electrical or computer engineering background. The challenges are of good difficulty, and my only complaint is that the game relies on the shift key, instead of the option of allowing the player to only use the mouse.

Apparently the shift key is used to switch between types of silicon, but it does nothing for me. I can't create anything but N-type silicon, so the game is pretty unplayable.

Design score seems to be:
DS = silicon squares + metal squares.
Gates (overlap squares) count as 1 point
Vias appear to be free.

@ Everybody who doesn't understand it: You have the task to construct some important pieces of electronic circuits. All you have is the test signals, a battery (always 1) and AND or NOT gates. Look up certain constructions online or think logically to combine these and try to match the output.

Can someone post the oscillator, I did all the others of the first ones, but here I have no Idea (I did shorter oscillations ;))
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
I... I want to like it, but I just don't have the first clue what on earth I'm meant to do. I understand the aim of a unit, and even how to accomplish that aim. But when I try to get my brain to mentally construct that it all falls to pieces.
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
I have a question about the design scoring. Clearly, less is more here, as long as it meets the 97% criteria on the verification test. But I got the 63 on the pulse by shortening my pulse, which is only 1.4 divisions long instead of the specified 2. Is that really better? I don't know. If the test was shorter, my design wouldn't pass. If there are any people who do this for a living, chime in on what the most appropriate design metric is?

@VDOGamez: yes, you can delay it by putting AND gates. Nine and-gates in series usually give the right length.
Has anyone made a decent flip-flop or d-latch yet? The VCC keeps getting current trough.. =/

@ Kivs... it's written in russian. Translation: Constructor. @pures: using flash9 too. Had no problems.... But i click sometimes on delete button because i want to verify my solution and forget to switch the tab. Please, move delete button to another position.
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
bug with the snippets. Was working fine earlier. Now it asks me to save but nothing is being displayed in the window.

Kivs: Exactly. I love his games. not an engineer but I have dabbled in electionics...but you don't need to be for this game. It's all logic. Undo button is KEY!

on 5, I'm wondering if the reason my timing becomes so off towards the end of the enable pin if it's the computer I'm on...like if it was faster would the timing be better.
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
like all his games, you should be familiar with electrical engineering, which I'm only a hobbiest in. So I guess they're not for everyone. but I love the logic part of EE.

Figured out how to place Silicon P and to delete Metal....you have to hold shift with either silicon or delete selected to perform the optional tasks. Definitely needs improvements in the tutorial section, maybe a series of practice circuits to get use to the controls and how different circuits perform, especially for those of us who are not electrical engineers. 2/5 for now but has potential.

It's a pain in the butt to get anything from the tutorial with a 1024x768 resolution since the text and what's going on don't all fit within the frame. Sad, looked interesting.
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
Could do with a lot more documentation/tutorial (ideally in a more accessible format than video), but other than that, it's inspired. Fun and educational. :D
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
lol, it actually makes quite fun to find the right way how to set it up, but its very hard 4/5 :)
hm stuck at level 4, but got 5 and 6 finished xD
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
Yeah, it loads. But this is way too complicated for most people. You need a lot of background knowledge to get what the hell is going on.
Not a good choice for a game that is supposed to be fun.
