Chip Builder

ChipBuilder is a story driven puzzle game about digital logic. You play a junior engineer at ChipCorp, learning to build a working computer from the ground up, one gate at a time.

KEY FEATURES

• Interactive Circuit Canvas

• Drag components from the palette, wire outputs to inputs, and watch signals propagate live as you build.

• Real Truth Table Verification

• Every circuit is graded against the actual truth table it should satisfy. No shortcuts, no guessing.

• Narrative Driven Lessons

YOUR JOURNEY

• Chapter 0, Silicon & Switches: Start below the gates, with single transistors, and build your first logic from them.

• Chapter 1, The Spark of Logic: Learn the fundamental building blocks, logic gates that process 0s and 1s.

• Chapter 2, The Art of Combination: Combine gates into useful circuits, adders, multiplexers, and decoders.

• Chapter 3, Memory Takes Hold: Discover circuits that remember, latches, flip-flops, and registers.

• Chapter 4, The Storage Vault: Build memory systems, RAM, ROM, and address decoding.

• Chapter 5, The Brain's Calculator: Build the ALU, the arithmetic and logic powerhouse of the CPU.

• Chapter 6, Building the Brain: Assemble the complete CPU, program counter, control unit, and datapath.

• Chapter 7, The Language of Machines: Cross the hardware software boundary, machine code, assembly, and algorithms.

• Chapter 8, The Chip Architect: Master advanced concepts, pipelining, caching, ISA design, and build freely.

• Chapter 9, From Sand to Silicon: Learn how chips are actually built and assembled in the fab.

• Chapter 10, The AI Accelerator: Discover how dedicated chips meant to run and train artificial intelligence are developed.

• Chapter 11, FAB CEO: Lead ChipCorp as its CEO for 35 years in a turn-based grand strategy game.

BUILD A COMPUTER

A second mode: start with one NAND gate and build one computer across 14 scored milestones. Design your CPU's own instruction set, write programs in assembly, debug them, and connect a keyboard, a console, a pixel screen, a timer, sound and a network port. In the last milestone, Snake runs on the computer you built.

12 chapters. 49 levels. 1 working CPU, built by you, one gate at a time.
