Re: Game where you build a CPU and assembly language from circuits
#32Reminds me of https://nandgame.com (free, web-based) where you build a CPU starting from NAND gates (building other gates, then registers, then clock, RAM, ALU, all the way to a processor).

#34Hey, this is really cool. I've always wondered how this stuff works beneath the abstraction of high-level languages. Thanks for sharing!
Re: Game where you build a CPU and assembly language from circuits
#35/off topic I am learning to design PCBs, and while I have a basic understanding of the components (viz. resistors, diodes, transistors, etc) as the board gets populated with more components, (consider, for instance, an arduino dev board), it is just very challenging to build a model of how the entire board works - the logic etc. Further, a good part of modern microcontroller boards is dedicated to (I think), power de…
Engineers will deliberately break things up into subsystems on the board. Engineering is about making a safe and effective product in a timeframe (read: budget) suitable for the customer, it's not about perfection. You are allowed to approximate.
You can see this on some PCBs where a decision has clearly been made to separate (say) two different digital subsystems, which could be more efficient if mingled, but is only feasible for their resources if designed and verified separately.

#36That kind of game is too much like work.
Maybe, but it's like work but without although all those dogshit vendor toolchains and horrible hacky EDA languages.

#37The reminds me of Rocky's Boots( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rocky%27s_Boots ) taken up a few levels.
Do you know about Robot Odyssey? Which was a same era sequel which took Rocky's boots up a level. Great game and even more the spiritual ancestor of this game it seems.

#38Earlier quoted context omitted.
I'm not sure how I could have been any clearer. I said I was not criticising the choice by the individual developer but rather voicing my frustration at the prevalence of that choice. I don't eat pork so I don't actually care about that particular market. And for the record I won't be, I generally don't buy EA.
Why should or would this infuriate you?
Because he is tantalized by the idea and gets drawn in and hyped up only to find out it's early access and to him that's a huge disappointment.
Why are people infuriated by people being infuriated. I don't feel the same way as this person but I basically understand them.

I highly second this. I found his videos so inspiring that I build my own adaption of his cpu.
