I wonder how many of us will immediately try to feed a gate back on itself... (Firefox Hung when Flash came face-to-face with infinity, I had to kill -9 it, so be careful)

Very cool little App. Has a nice feel for a simple little Logic Gate simulator to play with. Would be nice to see it integrated into: http://www1.idc.ac.il/tecs/

Anyone else ever play "Rocky's Boots" back on the Apple ][?

Would be really cool if one could define "new gates" in terms of gates, e.g. a half-adder, a full-adder.

Wow, I'm surprised how rusty I've gotten. It took quite a long time to figure out the optimal full adder.

Very cool! I recommend just having the simulation always be active (i.e. when I hook up a square wave generator, immediately have it generate a signal).

Good job. This is what 'visual programming' is supposed to be like.

agreed. a couple slots for your own black boxing of a component would enable fairly complex ideas to be quickly demonstrated. Could be a great teaching tool.

If the creator of the tool is reading:

1. Please add support for sequential logic with flops.

2. Minor bug: the "input" and "output" labels are reversed on the left pane.

I can't reproduce the problem... it won't let you hook an inverter to itself, but a ring of three inverters works fine (but generates inconsistent output).
