  • I made a game where you build a CPU from logic gatesJul 2026 · select.supply · ▲102

    I built ChipBuilder to make computer architecture more approachable through interactive puzzles.

Once you've built the hardware, you can write assembly programs that run on the processor you created. The game is inspired by courses like Nand2Tetris, but everything runs directly in the browser with a visual circuit editor, simulations, and progressively harder challenges.
