Hard Chip

If you're into getting a good grasp of how modern digital logic works at the most basic level, this is it. If you're into perfectionism, this is going to consume a lot of your time.

This is a great game. One of the best learning tools I have seen for hardware level understanding of circuits, logic gates and computers. I was pleasantly surprised to see that the game is more than just sitting at a screen designing a chip. There is a ship that has various issues that you need to design replacement chips for. I found this creative and a nice addition making this more than just simulation, but also a game. It gives you a reason to develop these circuits, as you want to fix the ship. I would definitely recommend this game. I went to school for Computer Science, and this would have been a great tool, and likely will eventually become a tool that can be used in classrooms to help students.

Well dang... It's not just a chip fabricator game, but it's a really good, well made chip fabricator game. You have two MOSFETs, and get to make all the gates and logic units based upon those. It has blueprinting, a neat chip editor, scoreboards, a basic plot, and it runs fine on my Ryzen integrated graphics. Documentation feels a bit light in parts. For example, I've unlocked probes but haven't yet been given any info on how to use them, so that's very much been trial-and-error. However there are regular updates and a responsive developer, so I'm sure the UX will improve even more over time. It also runs just fine under Proton. This will either be *very much* your thing, or not at all your thing. [b]Play the demo[/b] and you will definitely know for sure.

I'm currently in my final few semesters of my Comp Sci degree. This game is not only fun, but it's incredibly helpful for understanding extremely low level logic. The addition of creating chips to fix your spaceship also gives a sense of purpose for making the chips rather than just being a pure simulator. I learned a lot playing this game too - I had no idea exactly how transistors worked before I started playing. 100% recommend getting this game if you'd like to further your understanding of these concepts.

Like NandGame, only 3D, with MOSFETs and even some story-telling. This is a hidden gem of the genre.

Probé el juego en Acceso anticipado, esta bueno y es una manera entretenida de aprender a visualizar lógica digital en tres dimensiones, tal cual se emplea en la fabricación de "chips" en sustrato de silicio, para disfrutarlo correctamente sin estancarse recomiendo investigar un poco como funcionan los transistores, y como hacer compuertas lógicas a partir de estos.

удобно реализовано создание логических схем из элементов и соединений. интересно реализована возможность прокладки соединений в пространстве. есть возможность усовершенствования решения за счет компактности. наглядно для обучения детей

Definitely a callback to some electronics classes. Challenging at times but in the best way, teaching by example and encouraging you to try different step-by-step methods of achieving the desired outcomes. Extremely satisfying watching your design finally validate with no errors. Highly recommend!
