Author here. Yeah, the first level is special and perhaps half-baked. It felt like cheating to start with the NAND-gate as the atomic component since transistors are not NAND-gates…

Is your problem with the user interface, i.e. how to connect wires from input to output, or is is with the logical problem of getting the correct output?

Yes that would be great!

I'm not using canvas. SVG is used for the connections, the rest is HTML. I'm not using any particular library for the diagrams, since I couldn't find anything suiting my purpose un…

No it means you can either optimize for fewest components or fewest nand-gate. The text could be clearer.

Author here - I would love to do a few layers below the nand gate.

> I'd like to see the ability to "unbundle" the composite components. This is a great idea, and you are not the first to suggest it. I just haven't gotten around to implement it.

Yes it has improved a lot. Still more improvements to come!

Thank you very much for the suggestions.

Author here: The reason you drag from the input rather than output is that a pin can have only one input.

Author here - thank you for the feedback! The nand-count is based on how you built the components involved. So optimizing a component will have have cascading effects. "This is the…

Author here - It uses TypeScript and the Angular framework. Not because I prefer Angular in particular but because I had to learn it anyway for a work-related project. I think Type…

It is a web site, but it seems they have a "sites" plan for 5$ a month. Looks great, thanks!

I have a side project which sometimes get many visitors. I initially hosted it on a cheap hosting provider, but on the first surge of visitors it got hugged to death. So I quickly …

That would be really cool. I need to refactor a bit to allow different translations of the text, but I can get back to you when it is possible.

Code goes into how logic gates like the nand gate are built, so it does start at a lower level than Nand to Tetris which start with nand gates as primitives.

Yeah it currently only compares the solutions towards the minimum number of components of any type. I also intend to compare against the minimum number of nand gates overall, but t…

That would be really cool!

I made a small game inspired by the first lessons in the course: http://nandgame.com/

Thank you for finding the bugs! It shouldn't even be possible feed a 5 to a one-bit connector. Yes I think I shot myself in the foot by designing the connectors so the labels could…

Actually there was a bug both in the text and in the code. A=1 should be 0x8FE0, but this was not specified correctly. I have fixed it now (I hope).

Thanks, it is a very cool idea. I wanted to make the game really simple and accessible, but there seem to be interest in optimization challenges like finding the smallest/cheapest/…

You are correct, the text is wrong. It should be 128KB, not 64KB. A word is two bytes (on a 16-bit architecture) so we can address 64K words which is 128KB. (I think you mixed up b…

May I ask about browser/platform and what you did to make this happen? I am not able to reproduce the issue.

Yeah I'm unsure how to clearly communicate how the connectors work.
