Admit it you are using them too.
When the code doesn't want it the way you want!
Keep Muhammed Tyson Lee alive!!!
So much pain in one JIF!
It is done
Keep your patient alive!!!
So you have knowledge about engineering? You like to tinker? You actualy like people?
Then you should take this job offer and repair medical equipment with logic gates and save lifes!

YOUR GAMES ARE AWESOME,
but can yours count?

Input signal propagating through a series of AND-gates
Simulating the time needed by the signal to go through a gate. Said time is called propagation delay or gate delay. When designing real hardware, gate delay has to be taken into account in order to prevent hardware bugs.

Another example of propagation delay of logic gates
Focus on the NOT-gate. The Eye of Logic is commanding you!!!
This is what would theoreticaly happen if you connect gates in a circle. The input signal would propagate infinitely through the circuit. In reality an infinite propagation wouldn't happen, because every conductor has its own resistance which would weaken the signal every time it is passed from gate to gate. After a certain amount of times the signal would disappear because it lost too much energy (only, of course, if the gates don't have additional power sources^^).

How to use gate delay to your advantage?
For example when constructiong a D-Latch (so called "Delay"-Latch). Input signal doesn't arrive at the same time at the AND-gates and prevents undesired behavior.

Using gate delay creatively
Every time the metrics update for your game there is a logic circuit controlling the loading symbol. XD

Versatility of NAND-gates
One basicly only needs a series of NAND-gates to construct any other gate.
The example above shows how to create a AND-Gate from NANDs.
Next easy example depicts how to create a NOT-gate.
Using both examples from above one can create an OR-gate.

Multiplexer
Multiplexer can be used to switch different inpunt-signals to the output.

Logic Gate Friends
1) This is an OR-gate.
2) AND it has some Friends.
3) These little friends are called NOT, NAND, NOR and XOR.
All logic gates can be used for hardware synthesis.

My game can add, so I don't have to.^^
What you are seeing above is a working half-adder. Said curcuit can add two binary signals. The upper gate is the sum of both inputs and the gate beneath is the carry signal. Carry signals represent the overflow to the next digit of multi-digit addition.

Taking it a step further... who's ready?
This game jam was absolutely incredible! I decided to make a game on my own for the very first time and what an adventure it was! It felt so freaking amazing to develop it, you know? That is why I decided to take developing to the next level and make a fully fledged game. Who's ready for it?
