Show HN: A game where you build a GPU(jaso1024.com)
Thought the resources for GPU arch were lacking, so here we are

It is really interesting. No authentication to save the level so that you can continue next time.

I have been looking for something like this for so longggg! THANK YOU

I would have really liked to have a temporary node to test the outputs. Better than that, I would have liked to see the truth table update in real time without running the tests.

Huge fan of this! I love learning-by-doing and this captures that cycle perfectly.

This is awesome! The truth table lightning round took me by surprise, I am rustier than I thought...

One note: It isn't immediately obvious that the In/Out nodes can be connected to multiple wires, made the first few rounds harder to work thru.

I see, thx, ill add a note in the game to make it more clear

truth tables round is optional now!

A nice game, though the truth table lighting round is pretty punishing! Big contrast to the circuit building part where you can take your time. Personally I'd drop the time requirements from that quiz section.

Yeah, a lot of people have said similar things, I'm going to make them all optional (coming in 30 min or so)

The truth tables are way too hard for me. I need time to think and the 10 seconds is way too fast. If this is intended to be a teaching resource, avoid timers IMHO. It needlessly excludes people.

makes sense, idk if i want to remove times altogether (i personally found it fun + i want the game to be fun for all levels of familiarity), but ill add a modal to explicitly select difficulty level at the start of the racer game, i def agree w/ u overall

please just let me skip it. why am i doing homework in the middle of a game?
Jaso1024 2 days ago||
lol, i made them skippable earlier to day, if u refresh now it should let you skip them

if you solve a level, then press "next level", then solve that next level - then it still shows the original level (I think it just gets hidden below the new one and then reappears after a solve?)

just pushed a fix

The 2.13 level ("hex racer") is kind of pain. Apparently I'm not fast enough at dividing/multiplying by 16... when I get something like "convert 0xB3 to decimal"

Time to get on zetamac (all jokes aside, it should be optional, i'll also make racer games slower + adaptive soon (today))

Is this a sequel to "How to make a CPU"? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vuvckBQ1bME

lol, I hadn't seen that video before but its a good one. Na, this is the guide to comp arch that will (hopefully) end all instances of toil over documentation for any sort of processor when learning
