I've been a lover of programming since I was 14, and so when I learned of Arduinos and RPis, I had to have a few. My favourite thing of programming is being able to watch a few lines of code make something wonderful, so being able to see this physically as opposed to in a game, or on a website, was amazing.
I haven't dabbled too far into circuitry, so some uses of ICs and such, I'm not too familiar with. I did very basic things like setting up light strips around my house, like around my ceiling, under furniture, etc and getting them working through Alexa is about as far as I ever went. It's hard to find a certain project I will want to do and then buy the parts for them, and I've never just splurged and bought a lot of ICs to test with. This simulator gives me the ability to keep learning without having to purchase ICs, more components, jumper cables, etc
I am currently hoping to replicate BenEater's 8 bit computer within this sim, as I think a lot of people are trying to do. I've watched the series a couple times on Youtube, but without actually testing and doing it myself, you can only retain so much information.
Best of luck, I'm sure you'll see me in this forum asking questions or suggesting updates, etc. Cheers
