Add snap to grid #132

Open joranmulderij opened 1 year ago

Hi, could you add the option to let components and wires snap to a grid. I don't think there are many drawbacks to doing this. It would make the program more fun to use.

Love your series BTW ❤️

Wires snap to grid if you hold Shift. It seems components can't be snapped for now.

Would love to have a snap to grid option for the circuit chips themselves

Definitely want to add this. The one thing I'm uncertain of though is how the pins on the chips should line up with the grid to allow wire snapping to work. For example if a chip has 4 inputs and 3 outputs, the input pins would line up with the grid, but the output pins would not (unless I spaced them strangely, or added a 4th 'dead' pin to make it work). Would be interested to hear any thoughts on this!

Could you add a few different snapping "nodes", one to each corner and then one on the center point of each side as well as one in the middle of the chip? This would allow the user to snap it however they wanted to but also allow for odd numbered chips.

Perhaps take it the way that Turing Complete took it with its component factory (Its Great wip Game! missing clk mem tho)
