This is a digital logic circuit simulator.
- Implementing different digital logic circuits in source code, based on some simple basic logic elements, only (no cheating!). The final goal is implementing the whole SAP-1 (Simple As Possible computer) this way, or at least parts of it.
- Understanding more complicated digital logic circuits by coding the simulation and making sure that they work before building them with hardware.
- Be compatible with Linux and Windows operating systems.
- Testing the productivity of using Visual Studio Code with Linux for development of a C# .NET console application (instead of using Visual Studio with Windows).
- Maybe add support for text-based input files (e.g. JSON) describing the digital logic circuits to be simulated instead of doing that statically in source code.
- Select one of the example classes (or create your own) and use it in
Program.cs. - Run the application with .NET at the console/terminal.
- The UI depends on the example selected, the controls on the example and the game loop, see
GameLoop.cs.
The page numbers mentioned in code and the implemented logic elements (basic and so-called assembled elements) are from the book Digital Computer Electronics by Albert Paul Malvino and Jerald A. Brown.
