Under rating threshold (show) Probably a great game if you have *any* background in circuitry. For the rest of us, it's far too technical.

Under rating threshold (show) 2. Tutorial - The movie concept is awful, how about a darn click to continue step by step, along with a try it yourself portion. I understand the first level is a tutorial level, but come on, just a single tiny level for each gate type, with a good explanation of the concept of that gate. Or at least an auto-pause in the movie so you can read the text without having to pause it yourself! 2a. Optimization Tutorial - This would be a nicety that would solve a lot of frustration. It could just be a brief page on using the least amount of switches, and maybe another page on how to use delay to your advantage to even out the verification graphs.

Under rating threshold (show) This game is unituitive, not aestheticaly pleasing and slow. However the sheer challenge of it is unbelievable. the moment when you suddenly get it... is one of the most amsing feelings. 5/5

Under rating threshold (show) Perhaps in a future remake of this game, you could give complete beginners some helpful tips on how to create things beyond "if" and "if not" gates. I can't imagine how you're supposed to create a power-on reset generator using only those two components, but I'd be willing to learn if the game would only teach me.

Under rating threshold (show) Hold shift to delete metal or draw P silicon. I too wish this had a better tutorial, because this is something I want to learn about and this would be a good way to get rudimentary knowledge as a starting point. Refer to NotJack's top rated comment for very important information. And refer to wikipedia's articles on boolean operators and logic gates to find out more clearly what your objective is.

Under rating threshold (show) for lvl 6: 1 NPN and 1 PNP is enough to pass it. With an Extra-PNP you can even achieve 100% macth (also the graph tells you that you still have a little delay when turning it of). Way harder for me is currently the level 5 as my Delay-circut (many npn's in a row) only delay when turning power on, not off..... my pos-edges are at the right time, but the negedges come way too early....

Under rating threshold (show) This game is so full of win on the concept it blows my mind. The feeling of success on laying out a workable circuit board is awesome, right up there with building a robot that exceeds your expectations on Incredibots or Fantastic Contraptions 1 & 2... That being said, it doesnt get 5 stars from me for several reasons, some of which are very frustrating: 1. Snap to grid - This whole game is based on a grid, why make me draw straight lines with a mouse that can wander? Which leads to... 1a. Click and hold to draw straight lines - It would take the hassle out of laying a long section of metal or silicon, especially when combined with the above.

Under rating threshold (show) I'm still playing through and I really enjoy the challenge. (physicist) but the one piece I couldn't figure out was the timing type of circuit. I had to see another solution for that. making transistor gates was an interesting challenge so far in terms of logic, but it would have been nice for the tutorial to at least hint how to make a time-delay.

Under rating threshold (show) You don't want to know how much of the last three days I spent on the three classified designs. But I sure (re)learned alot about the thinking in low level digital electronics design. Sure, it is not the real thing (which is analogue, not digital) but it does come close. Also some of my earlier designs really feel awkward and clumpsy compared to the onces used as parts of the last three. And there is nothing wrong with a huge selection grid covering most of your design space, ripple carry counters and other multilevel logics are for people more concerned about silicon space than raw speed.

Under rating threshold (show) I have now finished the 16 nonclassified units. Interesting to see that the three classified once are mostly thing I have allready created. So if you just started doing this: remember to save your completed designs in a text file someplace safe, you _will_ need them. (Yes, mine are saved.)

Under rating threshold (show) I've finally figured out more intuitive controls. The current controls have never suited me and so this is my idea: the silicons and metal would all have sepertae keys (1,2 and 3) then the vias and select tool (4 and 5). The shift functions should be delete (for keys 1-4). This means when making a mistake, you can correct it with the shift key immediately, and it makes deleting silicon more controlled.
