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

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?)

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

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.

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

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))

+ for the idea

- for the load javascript from that page imposes on CPU. +15 °C in less than 30 seconds. Nothing on the page could justify that.

Yeah, my old MacBook got really laggy and the fans were spinning hard. Still worth it!

Reminds me of that one data center game on steam. I love how we're gamifying learning on these levels now

It's always nice to see educational games like that. A lot of new learners (like me) are just looking at the high level stuff, where the computer "just works"...

Well done and keep it up :)

This is amazing. There are a few quirks here and there, but the idea is great and it's super fun to play around in.
