Why not put the wires on a grid? Looks gross compared to every other circuit tool that puts the wires on a neat grid.
My personal favorite digital logic simulator is Logisim

#22Back in Highschool I used a similar program to leach myself digital logic, Logisim[0]. Although it's no longer maintained by it's original author, it does still run, and I don't remember any outstanding trouble with it.
I think the main benefit compared to Logic.ly, aside from being FOSS, is that Logisim has a number of different simulated input/output devices (button, joystick, keyboard, LED, 7-seg, hex digit, LED matrix, and tty), which is useful if you want to try and build a toy CPU or other such things. I recall it also had pretty good support for modules.
That said, it looks like Logic.ly is maybe targeting more of an intro level of course work, where stuff like TTYs and keyboards wouldn't be relevant.

#23Simply awesome!

#24This makes me think of the Von Neumann bottleneck. How much do you think our CPU designs are affecting the high level languages of today?
