Common abbreviations[edit | edit source]
- 1bm: One Bit Memory. The component in the game capable of storing a single bit with a save signal.
- CC: Custom Component, one made in the Component Factory.
- CLA: Carry Look Ahead. A special way of building Byte adders that reduces delay.
- CS: Computer Science.
- DAG: Directed Acyclic Graph. A special kind of graph, used in the game for simulation. This is the reason why cyclic dependencies aren't possible without Delay Lines.
- DB: Delayed Buffer. An obsolete term for the Delay Line component in the game that outputs the value that was input in the tick before.
- FA: Full Adder. The level/component in the game that adds 3 bits to a 2 bit result.
- LFSR: Linear Feedback Shift Register. A NAND efficient alternative to Counters.
- LUT: Look Up Table. A common pattern for good solutions for combinatorical levels.
How do I Rotate?[edit | edit source]
- You can rotate a component before it is placed with the hotkey, which by default is .
- A single placed component can be rotated the same way provided it is not connected to anything else.
- A group of connected components and wire can be rotated by selecting, cutting, rotating and then pasting it. By default this is
-drag, , , - Any wire connection internal to the selection will be preserved.
- However this will break any wire connections (and watch links) between the selection and the rest of the circuit. You cannot rotate a selection without disconnecting it from the rest of the circuit.
I've finished the last level but my profile says "Complete: 95%"[edit | edit source]
Some levels have not syncronised with the server for some reason. To resubmit them go to the game Options → Score Sync. This will show Resubmit for the levels that the game is resubmitting. This fixes this issue most of the time.
TODO: Other options to try if this doesn't resolve it.
What are the extra RAM input/outpus for?[edit | edit source]
They allow the RAM to load and store words wider than 64 bits on 64 bit wires.
RAM, Latency RAM and Fast RAM have 4 Input value and Output pins. Only the first is used when the data width is set to 8, 16, 32 or 64 bits. The first 2 are used when the data width is set to 128. All 4 are used when it is set to 256.
