As majored in electronic, the implementation really attracts me. It would be great to mark license and reference.

martinkirsche commented 8 years ago

Can you explain to me what you mean by "to mark license and reference"?

wizicer commented 8 years ago

There are 2 points:

If you can assign a license type like MIT/BSD license to the project, this may encourage others who try to contribute to this project.
As I'm interested in this idea which draw circuit in plain still image, I just want to have some keywords/links if this idea wasn't original proposed by this project.

I added the MIT license two days ago.

I came up with the idea myself. However it was inspired by Wireworld (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wireworld) and Minecraft's Redstone. My first prototype even was a cellular automaton like Wireworld running as a shader within the GPU where each pixel charged its neighbours. But it was slow and I had to put a lot of repeaters everywhere.

Thanks for your explanation, you really bring me a brand new world -- cellular automata.
