This looked very interesting from the screenshot and I wanted to give it a try, but then...

Install the Logic Paint VSCode extension

WTF. No. I'm not going to get another piece of enormous unwanted software for this. It can definitely be a standalone application, maybe even a single executable. https://github.com/gdevic/Z80Explorer (previously discussed at https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=23896816 ) is an example of how to make your software a little more accessible. It's easy to download, extract, and run.


I was happy to see the "Pics or it didn't happen" section, but was disappointed when the link was broken. It looks like it links to a .PNG in the repository, but when I found the mis-linked .PNG it wasn't animated.

Would love to see a video of the results...


Logic simulator inspired by the Intel 4004 and Zachtronic's KOHCTPYKTOP, built with Rust + WASM
