More is coming

There are only a couple of levels so far, but more are coming soon.

I also hope to add the following features before the deadline:

  • Better editing facilities: copy/paste, etc.
  • A better-looking test results window
  • Some more stats in the test results, such as propagation delay and silicon area used
  • If I get time, upload stats to a web site and produce SpaceChem-like graphs showing your achievements relative to other players

Forgotten dependency

There's one other dependency I forgot to mention in the README:

BeautifulSoup

Windows executable

I've uploaded a py2exe-bundled version for Windows, which doesn't seem to suffer so badly from the problem of quitting when you switch to a window belonging to another application.

To launch it, run "main.exe" in the SimChip folder.

SimChip 1.1 uploaded

I've uploaded a new version of SimChip.

This version has a big pile of new levels, and a nicer way of presenting the test results.

Note that this version requires PyGUI 2.5.3.
