Oh, I didn't notice this capacitor bug, I changed it to add an enable gate for 2.4 (for context, i created 2.4 after 2.7 b/c i thought 2.7 wasn't obvious enough for some ppl). 2.4 kind of needs the enable pin b/c of how my simulation system works. Yeah, I felt pretty conflicted on the capacitors whilst building, theres actually a note about this in the capacitor info block in later levels, but I couldn't really make…
Since we're in feedback mode, 2.16 has no BitLineBar reference to feed to the comparators. I had to cheese the level by connecting the "capacitor" outputs straight to the outputs, and it worked. On the capacitor though, the capacitor level is weird as you don't build the capacitor charge system with transistors. Though I definitely get that the simulation engine is for digital stuff, not analog :) Also a general feed…
lol, I encountered the same thing w/ the Dram one in particular during testing (I passed it by using number keys, but probably was a sign to remove)
Thanks, I appreciate all the feedback, fixes coming in the next push

lol, mb. As in understand it, its that the colors of the bg make it seem like its wires when its not, I'll change the color theme a bit to fix (plz correct me if my understanding is wrong)
Yes, that's the issue: the (thick) solid grey "major axis" lines on the background seemed to be a wire. If I could make a recommendation, get rid of the grid lines entirely and only have 'dots' at regular spacing. Here's what Cadence Virtuoso looks like (the most popular circuit schematic tool for integrated circuit design): https://www.eecs.umich.edu/courses/eecs311/f09/tutorials/cad...
Will do, thx! Coming in the next push

click and press delete, realizing this wasn't obvious, a fix to add a similar delete mechanism to how wires are deleted is coming
Re: Show HN: A game where you build a GPU
#67if you solve a level, then press "next level", then solve that next level - then it still shows the original level (I think it just gets hidden below the new one and then reappears after a solve?)

Thank!

#70A nice game, though the truth table lighting round is pretty punishing! Big contrast to the circuit building part where you can take your time. Personally I'd drop the time requirements from that quiz section.
Yeah, a lot of people have said similar things, I'm going to make them all optional (coming in 30 min or so)
