About This Game

ChipBuilder is a story driven puzzle game about digital logic. You play a junior engineer at ChipCorp, learning to build a working computer from the ground up, one gate at a time.

KEY FEATURES

  • Interactive Circuit Canvas

  • Drag components from the palette, wire outputs to inputs, and watch signals propagate live as you build.

  • Real Truth Table Verification

  • Every circuit is graded against the actual truth table it should satisfy. No shortcuts, no guessing.

  • Narrative Driven Lessons

YOUR JOURNEY

  • Chapter 1, The Spark of Logic: Learn the fundamental building blocks, logic gates that process 0s and 1s.

  • Chapter 2, The Art of Combination: Combine gates into useful circuits, adders, multiplexers, and decoders.

  • Chapter 3, Memory Takes Hold: Discover circuits that remember, latches, flip-flops, and registers.

  • Chapter 4, The Storage Vault: Build memory systems, RAM, ROM, and address decoding.

  • Chapter 5, The Brain's Calculator: Build the ALU, the arithmetic and logic powerhouse of the CPU.

  • Chapter 6, Building the Brain: Assemble the complete CPU, program counter, control unit, and datapath.

  • Chapter 7, The Language of Machines: Cross the hardware software boundary, machine code, assembly, and algorithms.

  • Chapter 8, The Chip Architect: Master advanced concepts, pipelining, caching, ISA design, and build freely.

8 chapters. 32 levels. 1 working CPU, built by you, one gate at a time.
