what software is this

Dude, I'm sorry, but the way you solved the Counter level annoys me so freaking much. All you need is one 8 Bit Register, one Add, one Mux, and one Always On. The 8 Bit Maker and second Always On are entirely unnecessary, and the Always off is even more unnecessary. And you can make it so much cleaner too.

hey correct me if im wrong but you should also be able to just connect both inputs to one NOT gate to create a NOR gate (btw nice game keep going)

I've just found your channel through this series and, after having watched all the videos in one night, I was wondering if there was any chance you'd be able to return to this series. Is there any way we could expect you to come back to Turing Complete and make some more progress?

It kinda seems like you have abandoned this? Are you planning on coming back soon?

8:18 - Isn't that 128 << 1 ?

Don't get eaten by your final semester exam.

Awesome 👍

Just a super small recommendation, little box can be further optimized by using the 3 pin AND gate instead of two layers of regular AND gates :)

For the logic/arithmetic engine levels, I decoded the instruction byte and connected the outputs of each operation to switches tied together with a bus to make a 6-to-1 multiplexer all in one step. The wires also help visualize which switch is being enabled that way, which has saved my bacon a few times when I started doing more complicated designs for the ALU in the second phase of CPU architecture (the "LEG" Architecture, as opposed to the "OVERTURE" Architecture you first achieve Turing Complete status with). Also, the MUX you used to connect to the input is not needed. You can treat the level output as the save value input for a 7th register with its enable pin being akin to the save pin, and the level input can be treated like the grey register output with the enable pin being akin to the load pin. In fact, besides the instruction byte wire, you only need one 8-bit bus connecting all the components for this architecture.

around 8:35, a simpler way to do it is to use an "always on" component feed into the carry of the adder, instead of the somewhat complex way of making the number via and 8 bit maker

Strange they start with NAND instead of AND.

And here I was trying to make it with switches, thanks!

Is there a sandbox mode?

Other tutorials did not help me understand, but yours is like magic! It makes me understand immediately.

No more cicadas! I know why you got better stuff now

Do I hear cicadas in the background? Huh, I didn’t expect that

I do watch civil engineer, and aliensrock, it’s honestly clickbaity enough nobody’s gonna even know

Yup, the little box went past my knowledge

14:10 that’s literally just pure tedium though

Also with half of those numbers

Specifically rising edge

A fun fact, with one input, you can use the same materials to make a one tick pulse

Although yeah, that is a nice quirk I don’t often get to use

Also I’ve made adders, yours is definitely cursed, yes it should have xors, in fact that’s the core of it as a whole, but htf did you suddenly pull out those not gates from nowhere, you have cursed logic and you’re supposed to be good at it

Although I always compute carries first because I know it’s more efficient, after that I can simply count the carries and the inputs under them up and memorize what does what.

Don’t know where the other of the now three comments here is, but I got really good at binary addition by finding a pretty big number to plug in to the collatz conjecture in binary, and solve it no matter how tedious it is, the entirety of 3x+1 is just adding the number to itself with a one appended at the end then removing all the zeros at the end, it got so easy it became second nature

That's all? I guess he got eaten. :(

This might be my favorite concept for a game, I just do the basics on a simulator, I might try this

I'm on the last level before the Turing Machine one, and I have no idea on what to do.

The "bit inverter" can do with just a xor module in case you didn't know it 😅 btw with just 7 "and" 4 "xor" and 3 "or " u do the "counting signals"

as someone that went into this game with no circuitry knowledge whatsoever, I love this video. thank you!

My brain hurts with the little box solution

I'm not sure why you overcomplicate adding 1 whenever you need to. Just turn the carry on. That always adds a value of exactly 1. You would only need to work in bytes when adding more than 1, in which case you would always have an input byte.

So, how hard did you facepalm when editing? Because I suspect you didn't look at the truth table once when solving the "bit inverter", including after it was revealed that you created an xor gate. And in case you missed it during editing, the xor gate was available in the component list the entire time.

Great job on this series so far! Hope to see more! Sorry for all the comments btw.

Thanks for the explanation on "Saving Gracefully". I've seen 3 other explanations, but yours is the first one to "click".

Interesting solution for counting signals. I saw a different solution that was a bit simpler. It accounted for even or odd on the top pin, if it was 2 or 3 for the middle pin, and if it was 4 for the bottom pin. Still, it's always good to see different solutions! Also, thanks for the information about k maps!

Watching this and comparing to my playthrough to see if i overcomplicated things lol

Nice! Will there be a next episode?

3:58 you could just ((a xor b) xor c) for the sum.

i just started playing this tonight. 10 years out of computer engineering school and >9 years of web development later -- haven't felt my brain wrinkle like this in ages, lol! Hope I'm capable of getting this far!

Yes, the thumbnail is basically a copycat of Real Civil Engineer 😬, I hope he doesn't mind me borrowing the format

Genuinely underrated. Awesome video dude! The way you explain your thought process while playing is perfect and genuinely educational.The simple playthrough commentary is also perfect. I was really surprised when I minimized the video and saw that you only had 3 subs. Keep it up!
