#2Is this a simulation ???
Can i use the knowledge from game to build a real life CPU.

#3/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 delivery and conditioning.
Getting a functional model / representation of the entire board in my head has been a huge, as yet insurmountable, challenge.
Are there any good games that can help me wrap my head around these concepts?

You should think in subsystems. Design a module, and then think of it as a basic component (like a resistor or a microcontroller is a component). Do not keep thinking about all the parts it is composed of. Use the power of abstraction.

#5Phew, still early access. I thought I was going lose my week there :p.
Not really a criticism of the developers choice but personally I find the prevalence of early access infuriating. I often play games for awhile and then move on. I also love that initial discovery side of a game. But of these facts are not overly compatible with early access.

#6Pure genius. Should be offered in every school

Don’t buy it then? Buy it only when it is out of early access if it ever will be?
If you like chicken are you also infuriated by all the people who sell pork?
It is not like the developer had a choice between selling a ready version today vs a not-so-ready version today and they choose to release the not-so-ready version.

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.

#9Ooo, this looks interesting.
I'm a huge fan of the Zachtronics games which employ some sort of assembly programming.

Steam's Early Access is much preferable both for "enthusiast users" and the developer compared to the traditional opaque developer/publisher model. If you're not interested in Early Access, just ignore it and buy the game when it's out of Early Access.
