# logicGateSimulator2
# Logic gate simulator
a better version of my logic gate simulator
This is a logic gate simulator made for infoeducatie 2019.
## Getting started
Check out the [demo](https://mateiadrielrafael.github.io/logicGateSimulator/)
Or read the [docs](./docs/main.md) (work in progess)
To run locally clone this repo, and then run: `npm install`
to install all dependenices, `npm run dev` to start the development server or `npm run build` to bundle it.
## Features
This project wouldnt have been possible without the follownig libraries:
- Simple & intuitive UI
- Multiple simulations support
- Integrated circuits
- Multiple language support: Romanian, English, German, Dutch, Spanish & more in the future
- [typescript](https://github.com/microsoft/TypeScript) and [sass](https://github.com/sass/sass)
- [lit-html](https://github.com/Polymer/lit-html) , [lit-rx](https://github.com/Dabolus/lit-rx) and [rxjs](https://github.com/ReactiveX/rxjs)
- [material components for the web](https://github.com/material-components/material-components-web)
- [webpack](https://github.com/webpack/webpack)
- [gh-pages](https://github.com/tschaub/gh-pages)
- [eix-js](https://github.com/eix-js)
## Playing with the source
I used lit-html, lit-rx and rxjs mainly for the rendering, MCW for the styling, webpack for bundling, gh-pages for deploying and eix-js (a game engine me and a friend are working on) for input handling and common decorators.
To run locally clone this repo, and then install all dependencies by rrunning:
```sh
npm install
```
Start the development server by running:
```sh
npm run dev
```
Or bundle the source with:
```sh
npm run build
```

# Welcome
<link rel="stylesheet" href="https://fonts.googleapis.com/icon?family=Material+Icons">
Hello, and welcome to my logic gate simulator! I know it can look kinda scary at first, so that's why i wrote these docs!
# Introduction
I recomand reading the first 3 chapters before you start, and then only dig deeper into the others when you feel you mastered the basics!
These docs will walk you trough the process of creating a full adder.
# Table of contents
## Opening the simulator
1. [Basic controls](./controls.md)
2. [Importing a custom logic gate](import.md)
There are 3 ways to open the simulator:
1. Using the version hosted on github-pages:
This is by far the fastest solution - everything you need to do is open
[the github-pages url](https://mateiadrielrafael.github.io/logicGateSimulator/)
2. Using a development server:
First you need to have [node.js & npm](https://nodejs.org/en/download/) and [git](https://git-scm.com/book/en/v2/Getting-Started-Installing-Git) installed on your machine.
Open a terminal in the desired folder and run:
```sh
# Clone repo
git clone https://github.com/Mateiadrielrafael/logicGateSimulator
# Cd into the folder
cd logicGateSimulator
# install dependencies
npm install
# run development server
npm run dev
```
3. Building the simulation yourself
First, clone the repo and install the dependencies as explained in option 2.
To build the source run:
```sh
# build program
npm run build
```
To then run the simulation, open a server in the dist directory. A simple solution using npm:
```sh
# instal nano-server globally
npm i nano-server -g
# change directory
cd dist
# run server
nano-server
# linux
open http://localhost:5000
# Windows
start http://localhost:5000
```
