I made a digital circuit drawing and simulation game
Inspired by games like Turing Complete/Virtual Circuit Board/Logic World, I tried to make a mix of aseprite and wiredworld/wired-logic, the idea being the user can build a digital circuit using a "fullstack" pixelart creation workflow. The circuit is just an image. The primitives are (i) connected wires which have undefined, 0 or 1 state during simulation (displayed brighter or darker in function of the state) and (ii) NANDs, which are little pixel triangles. During simulation the user can interact with any wire by clicking on it, toggling its state, which is cool for messing…
I made a digital circuit drawing and simulation game launched on September 14, 2024 with 139 votes, #446 of 5,281 launches that month and more than 95% of that year's launches. The site was still online in September 2026, 2 years on.
In plain words
This digital circuit drawing and simulation game lets users build circuits using pixel art, combining the creative workflow of drawing tools with logic simulation. Circuits are constructed from connected wires and NAND gates, which can be toggled during simulation to explore logic behavior. The game supports interfacing circuits with external systems defined in Lua, enabling complex interactions. It targets enthusiasts interested in digital logic design and educational circuit exploration through a visual, hands-on approach.

I made a little digital circuit simulator that operates on PNGs2022 · github.com · ▲259This is a little toy project of mine that lets you simulate digital logic graphs. It was inspired by Minecraft's Redstone and the Piet esolang. It's got some serious drawbacks-- you write circuits as PNGs and simulate them with a Python interface. It's slow to run and slow to experiment with. And it is certainly difficult to use for people with any kind of color blindness. But despite that, I hope this can still be a fun toy!

A Marble Madness-inspired WebGL game we built for Netlify2024 · 5-million-devs.netlify.com · ▲616Hello HN! We’re a small creative studio specializing in real-time 3D experiences. Netlify approached us to design and build an interactive experience to celebrate reaching 5 million developers. Inspired by the classic game Marble Madness, we created a gamified experience where users control a ball through playful, interactive levels. The goal was to blend marketing content with the look and feel of a game to engage users. The app is built with Three.js [1], using our custom render pipeline and shaders, and uses Rapier for physics simulation [2]. The 2D content is overlaid on the WebGL view…
