I used and enjoyed circuitlab.io until it went for-pay only. Nice to have an easy to use free alternative for very casual hobbyists like me.

That would be https://www.circuitlab.com/ -- I built it :) Edit: if anyone wants, reply with your CircuitLab username and I'll give you a free membership upgrade when I get home this evening.

Paul Falstad did (and does) all the heavy lifting for this project, but the co-host of the JS version at lushprojects.com is my site and I did the original port from a Java applet to a GWT application that complies to JS. Glad to know so many people find it useful. I always thought it was a great visualisation tool which I why I wanted to put the effort in to do the port. Off to bed now, but if people have questions…

Where do I learn to write simulations like this? I'm doing numerical models this summer, and it feels like a lot of the notation is inconsistent, unlike programming.

What's your background? I ask because if you need to learn the physics behind how circuits behave then that's going to be a lot more difficult to self-teach than just learning how to solve differential equations computationally.

While we're on the subject, allow me to plug Electrical Age: https://electrical-age.net/ It's a minecraft mod, yes. It's also a fully functional DC electrical simulation, with realism as a primary focus. Any inaccuracies are either strictly required (= it runs at 20Hz for most purposes), or allowances for decent gameplay. (Or bugs. Those are probably my fault.)

People don't realize how much crazy stuff originates from minecraft.

For instance, battle royale (e.g. fortnite, pubg, realm royale, etc). That came from a minecraft mod based on hunger games before Arma+dayZ implemented it on their end. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_royale_game

But there's way more cooler stuff than that coming out of minecraft.

We have people building full blown computers in minecraft too.

You can even livestream yourself on a TV screen that you make on minecraft. Example: https://youtu.be/IdlZRhKmWJY?t=327

The full blown computers running in Minecraft has made me hope for more games that make computation an integrated part of game mechanics.

Like what if parts of the game code where represented as the environment. So that you can build your own game. Perhaps you can mod the game from inside the game. Or perhaps something more controlled, like modifying the level generation by interacting with the level itself.

Many thanks.

I remember running Spice on an 8086... The day I bought an 8087 coprocessor...it was SOOOOO much faster!
