I think it could work really well in teaching logic gates, but the UI is a bit confusing and how connections are made feel a bit buggy.

Perhaps you could repeat a little bit more the name of each symbol so those of haven't worked with logic learn faster, and using a different colour for each symbol could help too."},{"author_name":"Ludonaut","author_uid":"18667","time":"Apr 28, 2014 @ 6:32pm","epoch":1398709620,"text":"Clever!

(1) some logical system is present in every proposition we make. (2) In a limited sense, this game captures some of what happens beneath the surface of our electronics.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>@greysphere I was hoping that the game would feel like the zachtronics games, just more focused on logic and less focused on actual circuit building."},{"author_name":"colludium","author_uid":"28437","time":"Apr 29, 2014 @ 3:00pm","epoch":1398783300,"text":"The web version froze at first on the start page and then after 1 min it began to work.

The rules of logic are within every proposition we utter, whether we are aware of it or not.\r\nThe first 7 puzzles are mostly tutorial, and are therefore easy. The last 3 puzzles are meant to be more difficult (though I may have missed some super easy solutions).\r\nUnfortunately I ran short on time and didn't get a chance to implement other features I planned on (Modal logic and non-classical logics). I will probably add them to the game after LD ends.\r\n\r\nCONTROLS: WASD move the camera\r\n          Left click places and activates objects\r\n          Right click removes placed objects\r\n          ESC opens menu\r\n\r\nKNOWN BUGS:\r\nWires don't always get grouped in the right way. This can usually be fixed by deleting the messed up wires and placing them again in a different order.\r\n\r\nIf the output of an \"or\" gate feeds into one of the inputs, then once you power the gate it will remain powered no matter what you do. This is an easy thing to fix, but I will wait until after LD ends.","title":"Logiki"}
