Your Computer Is Dumber Than You Think. This Game Proves It.
Every computer you’ve ever used is built from four simple logical operations: AND, OR, NOT, XOR. ChipBuilder is a game that lets you wire them together, gate by gate, until you’ve built a working CPU. It reveals the paradox at the heart of modern computing — immense complexity arising from irreducible simplicity — and gives you the visceral experience of constructing computation from first principles.
