Sorry for flooding in coments, but this game is just AMAZING! I passed 8 levels, spent about 5 hours in 2 days. It's great challenge! Sorry if my english not so good.

Fantastic game. Thanks.
Main menu screen makes me think of two things. There was no soviet union in 1994, and there was no euro in 1994. )

Cool thing in this game is reinventing electronics from scratch. Bad thing is, well, the game itself. I found myself "playing" mostly in my notepad(paper one) and gameplay of drawing transistors only gets in the way of testing my designs.

Please put some written instructions in the instruction section. For some reason the video refuses to play for me and every time I try it just crashes and I have to reset the page.

it is possible to cheat, I'm admitting it so everyone knows some of the high scores are cheats, for example level 2

99% of the time, I just screw with metal an N-Type silicon because the tutorial never tells you how to change silicon and goes WAY too fast AND idk how to start the circits
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
I think the tutorial needs to take a step back and explain things even slower...I can usually do programming games, but I have no idea what is going on here, what P and N mean, what the difference is between silicon and metal, what is "above" and "below", what the diagram is even asking me to build, etc.

Here's the SR Latch using as few gates as possible as far as I know. There's a bit of startup noise but whatever.

Screw it. I do not understand how electronics works. This is Soviet Russia, anyways, the circuits will build themselves if I simply leave them on a table.

You can make better scores with cheating. At level 5 you are supposed to use 2 oscillators but you can pass with only. This will reduce your overall score by almost 90 points.

Adding info about the two kinds of gates in the "Instruction" field would be super handy. As another commenter mentioned: Red = N silicon. Yellow = P silicon. If you draw Yellow P over Red N, you create a "NPN" gate, which will allow current through the Red N section ONLY IF there is current applied to the Yellow P section. If you draw Red N over Yellow P, you create a "PNP" gate, which will always allow current through the Yellow P section UNLESS current is applied to the Red N section.
As you can see in the tutorial, a PNP gate (red over yellow) acts as a logical NOT operator if you pass VCC through the P and apply an input to the N. Not illustrated is that an NPN gate acts as a logical AND operator if you pass one input through the P and apply another to the N. The simplest OR gate has two NPN gates in parallel, with VCC passed through the N part, and a different input applied to each P. From there, you should be able to work out the others.

Great concept but a little weak in the engineering accuracy. From the perspective of someone who has done some VLSI design work (simulations in an intro VLSI course) it's kind of confusing to not have it be clear if we are creating BJT or MOSFET devices. The tutorial talks about PNP and NPN and there is no polysilicon layer (as in BJT), but the construction is more like MOSFET. Also the lack of a ground is odd. Instead of having 0s we should have floating and strong 1's. Fixing this would require a ground and either resistors or CMOS. Also using the gate as the collector/emitter of another transistor isn't allowed :(.
Despite all my grumbling though it definitely has lots of potential, and the challenge of not having a metal2 layer makes it a nice puzzle. Kind of like circuit board layout challenges more than VLSI challenges, though.
On a side note it would be nice if the controls were hold shift to delete whatever is selected and P and N doped silicon were separate buttons.

HUnpyrO, you only need four cells-_-
BTW you're gonna need that concept for addressable SRAM if you want to legitimately solve it.
