Student project - Digital Logic Simulator
Hello! I am a student in New Zealand looking to make a Logisim-like program. I am doing this as part of an assessment, which largely requires design based on feedback from my target demographic, so here I am to ask, if this interests you, please do feel free to fill out my form, and even maybe provide feedback as the project finds its footing : D
The main goal of this project is to provide an educational and interactive experience for digital logic, while also fulfilling personal gripes, like simulation speed, that I've had while designing my own projects ( I'm working on an awesome 16-bit CPU that I hope to build from discrete SMD ICs one day! ).
While Logisim, and similar programs, are great educational tools, I feel the 'dated' UI design and layout, and the lack of tutorials integrated into these programs could cause friction to beginner users that may turn them away.
Currently, my main goals are:
A refreshed, modern UI, sleeker and visually appealing components ( i.e. gates, activated or deactivated wires, or etc. ), as well as a built in tutorial editor ( sharing tutorials would be easy, likely uploaded to some cloud platform ), where tutorials could be something like step-by-step holograms ( i.e. you place things where outlined ), with notes along the way.
But this could all change based on your feedback, and I'd love to hear what sort of things people wish for, and I hope that, maybe, I can implement that for you!
Thank you!!
