"How To Invent Everything" by Ryan North has a great chapter that covers the logical progression from 'Classical Greek Logic' to 'and, not, or, xor gates' to 'half adders' to 'full adders' to 'basic CPU.'

Yeah, Shenzhen is a little bit too on the nose in being a 'working engineer' simulator. "We have ten thousand of these chips. We're not even sure what they do. Figure out a product we can build with them to recoup our losses." Or eventually finding some of the undocumented commands that, in retrospect, make half the game trivial.

Really should have read the manual more carefully :negative:

Congratulations, you are now a programmer.

I've been wishing, literally since 1989 came and went, for an updated version of Omega.

I still have the manual sitting on my shelf.

I've never found a game that scratches quite the same itch.

Are you aware of Carnage Heart EXA on PSP? I have never played Omega myself, but the description seems reasonably close.

I am, as well as Mindrover and a few others.

I like the chunky, old-school procedural code. Seems like a perfect fit for a Zachtronics game, if he ever decides he wants to make more. Like Shenzhen I/O.
