I cleared out all my cookies and it started saving my progress. I would have just killed this specific cookie but couldn't find it. It still doesn't save my snippets. Is it supposed to?
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
Brian--I've had problems with the game saving my progress, too. In fact, I didn't even know the game was *supposed* to save progress until today.
I just keep all my designs saved in a text file, so I can quickly cut/paste previously completed levels if need be.

Is this game supposed to save your progress or are my cookies screwed up? I know it doesn't save the individual circuits but I'm having to load each one and run it everytime I start the game. Is it only me?

@jonathanasdf If it's perfectly accurate with a single consistent delay, then yeah, I'd love to see it. A single glitch and I couldn't care less. I'm looking to use it for more complex things and if I have to re-time it it's junk.

Heh kygron sorry I didn't mean it as an insult, but just saying you can optimize it more.
If you want to see the design let me know :O

@jonathanasdf Then please use it to make a lvl12 and get your name on THAT highscore. If you want to compete with someone, do it on the high scores list and not as a personal insult please.

justdweezil: looking good, I just fixed mine by triggering Rx once at the very start to initialize the circuit's internal state, it now passes the test with 100% and no glitches. :)

Slightly messy, as I "freestyled" it and did not clean it up, but the output is somewhat cleaner.

If you gave this game a 1/5 because you have no idea how to play it.... That is because you are too stupid! - That's right! You need to know caculus + programming + electric engineering these days just to play flash games.

Any EE guys wanna tell me why if I build a 2N2222 it acts as an xor gate? Because the lack of resistor makes ground just as attractive as the output?
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
Found a diagram for a NOR gate, I'm just adding a NOT onto the end, surely not very efficient but should do the job :P

I figured out how to make a quad input AND gate, but I can't get a working OR gate without essentially shorting my inputs, cry.

Dual set-reset latch, has some problems with synchronization at first though :/

Although it does oversimplify things a little bit (an NPN transistor's output will indeed be a large positive when then input on the PN junction is positive (forward biasing the base to emitter junction), but the connection from the emitter to ground and the resistor used to generate some output is omitted), it's honestly surprisingly close to the real deal. Triple E majors, if you just imagine these are all common-emitter configurations with an invisible resistor leading to ground on the emitter of your transistors, this will make a lot more sense.
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
I agree with jcp_bill. I have an electrical engineering degree and had to throw out my notions of what a transistor can and can't do before I really understood this game. Now however, it is quite fun.
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
On the contrary, this game is not accessible to those with electrical engineering knowledge, because apart from the fact that the physical design of the transistor is oversimplified, the logic of the circuit is wrong : you need CMOS logic in order to have the output signal follow the input signal correctly.
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
the key gameplay element -- what the two kinds of transistors do, and how to build them -- is hidden too deeply in the tutorial video. which is kind of a shame; it could be a good learning experience if it just helped people over that initial hump a little.
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.
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
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.
