From transistor to CPU

Start with one transistor switching an LED, wire switches into gates, gates into an adder, feedback into memory, and memory plus a clock into a tiny CPU — then watch a real 6502 run a program you can read byte by byte.

Digital logic simulator

Build digital circuits by dragging gates, switches, clocks, LEDs and 7-segment displays, watch the signals light up, and go further with flip-flops, counters, adders, an ALU, RAM and ROM, your own sub-circuits, truth tables with minimised expressions, expression-to-circuit, a timing diagram with real gate delays, and a tiny CPU that runs a program.

Boolean logic

Truth tables with a column for every sub-expression, push negations inward one named law at a time, brute-force SAT on CNF clauses, Quine–McCluskey minimisation with Karnaugh maps and gate diagrams, equivalence checks, and register bitfields.
