A circuit simulator where you draw everything. Wires are pixels, gates are triangles. Design chips, watch signals glow as they propagate, and debug by rewinding time.
In Circuit Artist, every circuit is an image.
Draw pixels like MS Paint — but each pixel is a wire or gate. From simple NAND gates you can build:
• adders • memory • ALUs • entire CPUs
Then run the simulation and watch signals propagate through your design.

Wires are not instant.
Long wires and heavy fan-out introduce delay, meaning layout matters.
Watch signals travel through your circuit in real time and optimize your design like a real chip engineer.

Circuits can fail in subtle ways.
Pause the simulation and scrub time backward and forward to see exactly what happened.
Perfect for debugging complex logic.

Everything is built from one primitive: NAND.
Start with logic gates and scale up to:
• multiplexers • registers • memory • full processors
The only limit is the size of your canvas.

Two ways to play:
Sandbox
Challenge Mode
Your circuits are saved as PNG files.
That means you can:
• share circuits easily • remix designs • inspect how others built their computers

The simulation engine is open source.
Explore the code, modify the game, or build your own tools.
Written in C using Raylib with Lua scripting.
