The simplest component of the game, a wire that connects an input to an output.

Wires can carry 3 values bitwise: {{On}}, {{Off}}, or Z.

When a wire is Z, it can be overwritten by any other value.

If a wire is carrying a value that is not Z, attempting to overwrite it will give you a [[Short Circuit]].
