  • Digital

    A digital logic designer and circuit simulator.

  • Well logisim is dead, but evolution is a fork and then there's Digital https://github.com/hneemann/Digital which is I think a reimplementation of Logism's concepts?

    I also hand designed a custom 16 bit CPU in logisim, because I was struggling to understand Nand2Tetris's HDL as well as I liked, and also because I stopped following the curriculum to go my own way.
