I like the idea, but needs a better way to save state. I have started this game twice when it was posted, and each time got so far before I had to do real work and forgot about it. If it were a local application I could have just loaded a saved state, but it being a browser app, there is no good long term storage mechanism. Which is a shame since it is fun, but doing a bunch of EE101 problems for the 7th time in my life isn't. I am sure the later parts of the game are even better.


If you're looking for a more polished version of this game, "Turing Complete" on steam has the exact same premise.


Turing Complete seem to skip the electronic level that NandGame has?


I think that is the case. You don't build a nand gate as an actual electrical circuit with +, gnd, and transistors. You only start with a nand gate.


I finished this game three times and I just came back after months? and I stopped midway at Data Flip-Flop and my save state is still there.


> I just came back after months

I am sure this works if you don't upgrade your OS and have more stability in your browser. Running Fedora, we tend to upgrade every ~6 months and due to somewhat bizarre security policy have all browser data wiped every week.


"49 minutes ago" <- how long it took me to beat the hardware part of the game for the 4th time after D-Flip-Flop


localStorage would work fine for saving state.
